Kūrybinės klasės iškilimas

Abstract

Ši knyga – mėginimas paaiškinti pamatines jėgas, kurios kelis pastaruosius dešimtmečius keičia mūsų ekonomiką ir kultūrą. Norima susitelkti ties ilgalaikėmis ir išties struktūrinėmis jėgomis, kurios keičia mūsų darbo ir gyvenimo būdą. Tai ne tik internetas, naujų technologijų iškilimas ar net globalizacija. Daugelio nepastebėta, veikia dar gilesnė – kūrybingumo – jėga, iškilusi kaip fundamentali ekonomikos jėga bei tapusi priežastimi naujai – kūrybinei – klasei atsirasti.

Initially published in 2002, The Rise of the Creative Class quickly achieved classic status for its identification of forces then only beginning to reshape our economy, geography, and workplace. Weaving story-telling with original research, Richard Florida identified a fundamental shift linking a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing importance of creativity in people’s work lives and the emergence of a class of people unified by their engagement in creative work. Millions of us were beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always had, Florida observed, and this Creative Class was determining how the workplace was organized, what companies would prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities would thrive. This is the first translation of Richard Florida to Lithuanian language.
