Taylor Swift should be making even more money, but the economics of today's music industry hold her back, says Paul Krugman
Krugman noted that the concert business, which pays artists more than record sales do, holds"lessons about the sometimes perverse role technology can play in determining incomes," adding that"the real puzzle here is why Taylor Swift doesn't make even more money."
But where Lind would have to limit ticket sales based on the amplitude of her own voice, modern hardware has allowed artists like Swift to sell over 50,000 tickets a concert, Krugman said. But after adjusting for today's dollars, that's just over twice the amount Lind made, singing to a smaller audience 170 years ago, Krugman estimated."As I said, the real question, arguably, is why Swift isn't making even more money."
"Another, and I suspect better, answer is that live concerts play a more limited role now than they did 170 years ago," Krugman added.
