Two good recent Boxes and Arrows articles:

1) The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic
Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture, and Consciousness
Whether you have been paying attention or not we are
living in an age of aesthetics. So says Virginia
Postrel in her latest book, The 'Substance of Style:
How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce,
Culture, and Consciousness'. Postrel examines how the
role of aesthetics and style are transforming our
culture and economy in a variety of ways.

2) Talking with Virginia Postrel
Boxes and Arrows contributing writer Steve MacLaughlin
caught up with author Virginia Postrel to get her
thoughts on the age of aesthetics and what it means for
design professionals. Postrel's new book, 'The
Substance of Style', explores the economic, cultural,
social, personal, and political implications of the
growing importance of aesthetics in business and
society.
