The Rise of the Creative Class of 2002 ends with a clarion call for a post-industrial, post-class sensibility: "The task of building a truly creative society is not a game of solitaire This game, we play as a team" as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Richard Florida's Rise of the Creative Class of 2002 ends with a clarion call for a post-industrial, post-class sensibility: ‘The task of building a truly creative society is not a game of solitaire This game, we play as a team’ Florida's sentiment has been echoed across a broad and interdisciplinary literature in social theory and public policy, producing a new conventional wisdom: that class antagonisms are redundant in today's climate of competitive professionalism and a dominant creative mainstream Questions of social justice are thus deflected by reassurances that there is no ‘I’ in team, and that ‘we’ must always be defined by corporate membership rather than class-based solidarities The post-industrial city becomes a post-political city nurtured by efficient, market-oriented governance leavened with a generous dose of multicultural liberalism In this paper, we analyze how this Floridian fascination has spread into debates on contemporary urban social structure and neighbourhood change In partread more
