Many writers have commented on the massive social changes of the past few decades, but most of them have treated these shifts as something imposed on us, by technology or the marketplace. This is wrong, says Richard Florida: we've chosen to alter our values, work, and lifestyle, and for good economic reasons. Why have we done this?Florida finds the answer in the rise of a new social class. Like other classes, its basis is economic. Just as the feudal aristocracy derived its identity and values from its hereditary control of land and people, and the bourgeoisie derived its identity and values from its role as merchants of goods, the Creative Class derives its identity and values from its role as purveyors of creativity. When we see ourselves as "creative," our self-image affects the choices we make in every area of our lives.Based on a massive body of research, The Rise of the Creative Class chronicles the ongoing sea-change in people's choices and attitudes, and shows not only what's happening but also how it stems from a fundamental economic change. The Creative Class now comprises nearly forty million Americans, or more than 25% of all employed people. The choices these people make have already had a huge economic impact, and in the future they will determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither.

Recensione dell'utente  - Tressie Mcphd - Goodreads

It's not a bad book or a bad premise. There are knowledge producers in this world. I get it. I've seen Florida speak and I think I've read two of his three books. Look, it's seductive as hell, OK? It ... Leggi recensione completa

Recensione dell'utente  - Shari - Goodreads

While this work is researched and includes lovely charts and graphs, Richard Florida's conclusions just don't follow from his data. The class of people he dubs creative are just fairly well educated ... Leggi recensione completa
