CREATIVITY AND THE GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY - M...

This is a major work by three international scholars at the cutting edge of new research that
investigates the emerging set of complex relationships between creativity  design  research 
higher education and knowledge capitalism. It highlights the role of the creative and
expressive arts  of performance  of aesthetics in general  and the significant role of design
as an underlying infrastructure for the creative economy. This book tracks the most recent
mutation of these serial shifts - from postindustrial economy to the information economy to the
digital economy to the knowledge economy to the 'creative economy' - to summarize the
underlying and essential trends in knowledge capitalism and to investigate post-market notions
of open source public space. The book hypothesizes that creative economy might constitute an
enlargement of its predecessors that not only democratizes creativity and relativizes
intellectual property law  but also emphasizes the social conditions of creative work. It
documents how these profound shifts have brought to the forefront forms of knowledge production
based on the commons and driven by ideas  not profitability per se  and have given rise to the
notion of not just 'knowledge management' but the design of 'creative institutions' embodying
new patterns of work.
