<<Can there be such a thing as a purely commercial culture?
Interesting question, I think.>>

Never gave it a moment's thought, but sure, why not? ("Purely" I omit, that makes anything a non question.) Unless you want to compose a definition of 'culture' that preludes it.

Nothing could be 'purely' commercial, in any case; and no culture could be 'purely' non commercial.

I'm such a Marxist in my worldview.
