While the article below comes from a left-wing website, I believe the posters here might have an interesting take on it. The author argues that the modern capitalist elite is uninterested in high culture and he uses the decline of classical music as an example of the collapse of high culture under market logic.

Interestingly, the author notes that both the fascists and Soviets lavishly supported classical music.
Thoughts?
