Mould turns the notion of the 'creative worker' on its head. - Pop Matters For the past 20 years, creativity has been ubiquitous, an essential part of designs for office interiors, inner-city makeovers, and boosterish attempts by governments to redescribe precarious parts of their economies. It needs to be taken seriously--but it also, arguably, needs to be taken down. In this provocative, and often funny book, Oli Mould points up the absurdities of the creative economy, and some ways we might think beyond creativity. --Richard J Williams, author of Sex and Building There are few personal and collective traits that are prized more highly in neoliberal societies than 'creativity'.
