This book will change the way you think about music, unless you've already read books similar to this one (Adorno, Bataille, Dolar, or Goodman). Thinking about music as a product of labour is important and challenging. Attali provides a very interesting analysis of music as violence related to sacrifice. What is weak in this book is the connection to technology in musical production and reproduction. Even worse, perhaps, is that any discussion of leisure time vs. productive time, fixed capital, or knowledge production is absent. Regardless, as a a fairly short read this book will provoke thought.
