Literature on the economics of busking is outnumbered by works on street performance as a cultural practice and focus of regulation by the state.

Works include Passing the Hat: Street Performance in America (New York: Dell 1981) by Patricia Campbell, Drawing a Circle in the Square: Street Performing in New York's Washington Square Park (Jackson: Uni Press of Mississippi 1990) by Sally Harrison-Pepper, Underground Harmonies: Music & Politics in the Subways of New York (Ithaca: Cornell Uni Press 1995) by Susie Tanenbaum and the celebratory The Buskers: A History of Street Entertainment (Newton Abbot: David & Charles 1981) by David Cohen & Ben Greenwood.
