Playing the
Game: The Economics of the Computer Game Industry 
From: Cambridge University
Press
The entertainment industry is one of the largest sectors of the
United States economy and fast becoming one of the most prominent
globally as well. This seminar, largely focusing on toys and
computerized games, will show how microelectronic technology has enabled
game designers to conveniently and inexpensively transform plain
television screens into playfields of extraordinary capability. Harold
L. Vogel, author of the book Entertainment Industry Economics, published
by Cambridge University Press, shows how a business evolved in only ten
years that at its short-lived peak in 1982 was larger in terms of US
domestic retail sales than either the movie or recorded music
industries.
