Like beauty and wealth, creativity seems universally desired but insufficiently possessed. Businesses likewise see innovation as essential to productivity and growth, but can\u2019t bring themselves to risk new ideas. Even as one\u2019s \u201cinner artist\u201d is hyped by a booming self-help industry, creative education dwindles in U.S. schools.<\/p>\n<div><i> Anxious Creativity: When Imagination Fails <\/i>examines this conceptual mess, while focusing on how America\u2019s current edginess dampens creativity in everyone. Written in an engaging and accessible style,\u00a0<i>Anxious Creativity\u00a0<\/i>draws on current ideas in the social sciences, economics, and the arts. Discussion centers on the knotty problem of reconciling the expressive potential in all people with the nation\u2019s tendency to reward only a few. Fortunately, there is some good news, as scientists, economists, and creative professionals have begun advocating new ways of sharing and collaboration. Building on these prospects, the book argues that America\u2019s innovation crisis demands a rethinking of individualism, competition, and the ways creativity is rewarded.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anxious Creativity: When Imagination\u00a0Fails (Routledge) now is available without cost as an Open Access ebook thanks to funding from UC Irvine.
