About the book:
The Rise of the Creative Class gives us a provocative new way to
think about why we live as we do today – and where we might be
heading.
In a book that weaves storytelling with a massive body of
research, Richard Florida traces the fundamental theme that runs
through a host of seemingly unrelated changes in society - the
growing role of creativity in our economy.
