Description
Against Creativity by Oli Mould A provocative challenge to the notion that creativity is the driving force behind our contemporary society. Mould argues that the emphasis on individual creativity has led to a regime prioritizing profit over collective flourishing, and offers a radical redefinition of creativity as a means of promoting collective well-being. In this timely correction to the doctrine of our times, Mould reveals how the pursuit of creativity has been co-opted by neoliberalism, shaping the way we work, manage ourselves, and spend our leisure time. A bold and passionate exploration of an idea that is both refreshing and necessary. Verso Books, 2020, paperback, 240 pages.
