The consultation will provide an acid test of that idea (especially if no work on the newer methods of determining value are looked at by interested parties).


Still beats me how there can be a new, unexplored method of determining value of heritage. Yes, you can measure it in tourist dollars but all you end up with is a value measured in tourist dollars which is not a cultured way of valuing culture. If you project a Mickey Mouse lightshow onto the side of Stonehenge you'll increase its value in tourist dollars but will you increase its cultural value?

Is there a new, unexplored method of determining the value of Beethoven's Ninth, news of which has not yet reached my village?!
