Culture Industry is a Golden Age Policy Card from the Dramatic Ages game mode in Civilization VI. It is available from the Industrial Era to the Modern Era and uses a Wildcard slot.
Strategy[]
Culture Industry is a valuable policy for both Culture-focused empires and those that have incentives to build and develop Entertainment Complexes and Water Parks. Eleanor of Aquitaine and Brazil can make especially good use of this policy by slotting it in conjunction with Sakdina and running projects in their cities, which will allow them to launch Loyalty attacks against their neighbors' cities while simultaneously enjoying the other benefits these projects provide.
Civilopedia entry[]
Theodore Adorno’s critique of mass entertainment was that it reduced art not to a sublime quest for expression, but on its mass appeal. The culture industry, while Adorno might argue for its vapidity, sought to bring all citizens into participation in cultural life than before.
