You've probably seen the (outstanding, of course) essay linked many times, but don't miss this excellent associated bibliography! Currently wondering how cultural products fit into a "build" mandate. Renaissance salons are interesting to ponder vs. "what are you building"?

One cultural product of the salons was democracy (you could quibble about extent, but fair to say that it was a significant contributor). That's a kind of building. They also gave us belletrists—say, Proust. Not sure that's building, though arguably important for flourishing.
