Ive recently been given an essay to write about the "Economic and Political Factors that influence Music Production" and i started thinking "doesnt every single change in politics and the economy affect music in some way"? If a guitar shop went bust and started selling Fenders for £1/$1 wouldnt you see an increase in guitarists in the local area? I was just wondering what people on here think...what is the main Social/Political/Economic factor that has the power to change how music is made? Its a big question which is kinda why im asking for help....PEACE.
