The Beauty of a Social Problem: Photography, Autonomy, Economy

Bertolt Brecht once worried that our sympathy for the victims of a social problem can make the problem's "beauty and attraction" invisible. The author explores the effort to overcome this difficulty through a study of several contemporary artist-photographers whose work speaks to questions of political economy.
