  • Creativity Is the New Economy Posted: 06/27/2012 12:13 Pm
    Richard Florida Author Creativity Is the New Economy Posted: 06/27/2012 12:13 pm Excerpted with permission from The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited: 10th Anniversary Edition, by Richard Florida. Available from Basic Books, a member of The Perseus Books Group. Copyright (C) 2012. Someone recently said, "the longer the crisis goes on, the smaller the ideas for fixing it get." While pundits and commentators on the left and right savage each other over short-term fixes -- tax cuts versus stimulus, budget cuts versus monetary easing (I could go on) -- our economy is still sputtering and Europe is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. Policy-makers and central bankers have been able to stave off the massive economic dislocation brought on by previous crises like the Great Depression of the 1930s or the Panic and Long Depression of the late nineteenth century, but what we are going through is not any run-of-the-mill economic cycle. It's an enormous structural transformation -- similar if not larger in scale and scope to the shift from the Agricultural to the Industrial Age. Two charts make this abundantly clear. The first one (above) tracks Americans' employment from 1800 to 2010, across the nation's three great economic eras -- the Agricultural Age running from the time of Western settlement until the early to mid nineteenth century, the Industrial Age from the middle of the nineteenth century until the middle of the twentieth, and the new Creative Age, from the mid-twentieth century to the present. The second chart (below) shows the same trends, but this time as shares of the workforce.

Fairlie: Economic Development Strategy: The Creative Capital Theory Economic Development Strategy: The Creative Capital Theory Zach Fairlie ABSTRACT. This paper aims to identify the relationship between the Creative Capital theory and the unemployment rate. Using panel data from 370 Metropolitan Statistical Areas over a 12-year period, this study finds that talent, technology, and tolerance are not statistically significant determinants of the unemployment rate. The result is contrary to what Creative Capital theory suggests. I. Introduction Economic development groups are responsible for promoting economic growth and bringing jobs to their area. To do this, the groups adopt a variety of strategies based on conventional and non-conventional theories of economic development. Some non-conventional theories lack substantial academic verification (Hoyman 2009). The Creative Capital theory is an example. Richard Florida, founder of the Creative Capital theory, is a relatively new authority in the realm of economic development.

  • Statement of Gail Heriot
    Peer-to-Peer Violence and Bullying 181 DISSENTING STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER GAIL HERIOT, WITH WHICH COMMISSIONERS PETER KIRSANOW AND TODD GAZIANO CONCUR I. Background to the Report: A Twice-Told Tale Rather Than an Investigation This report has been a disappointment—though its shortcomings can in no way be attributed to our staff. The responsibility must lie with the Commission itself. Switching topics at the last possible moment made it impossible for the report to be anything but an uncritical re-telling of the positions of the Department of Education and the Department of Justice—along with a very brief nod to a few of the objections to those positions.1 Nothing that can be dignified with the term ―investigation‖ has occurred here. No useful new evidence is uncovered. No serious analysis has been engaged in.2 In the Commission‘s charter, Congress requires us to produce at least one report each year critiquing the manner in which a federal agency enforces civil rights laws.3 It is for that reason that the Commission is frequently referred to as a ―civil rights watchdog.‖4 Our job is to be fair and independent critics. 1 The brief discussion of the objections to the policy is contained almost exclusively in the last chapter of the report. 2 I agree with my colleagues Commissioners Todd Gaziano and Peter Kirsanow that none of the empirical studies on bullying cited in the report is relevant to the issues before the Commission. See Joint Dissent and Rebuttal of Commissioners Gaziano and Kirsanow. These studies do not show that the kind of bullying for which school districts can be held legally accountable for is widespread.

  • Exploring Creative Class in the Canadian Periphery*
    A Look beyond Metropolis: Exploring Creative Class in the Canadian Periphery* Andrey N. Petrov Department of Geography University of Toronto 100 St. George Street Toronto, ON M5S 3G3 Introduction In the last few years, Richard Florida’s creative class thesis (Florida 2002b), inspired the interest and criticism of scholars all across economic geography and regional science. Following Florida’s works, a number of studies developed his approach and placed his inquiry in a wider geographical context. It became almost conventional to cite the creative class among major drivers of regional develop- ment and to consider it as the key element of regional competitiveness. The ability of regions to attract the creative class through openness and diversity is widely perceived as a condition, underpinning innovative development and knowledge- based economic growth (Florida 2002a, 2002b; Florida and Gates 2001). Florida’s thesis found some support in empirical studies, which measured creativity and analyzed its effects on regional economic competitiveness (see Florida 2002a, 2002b; Gertler et al 2002). Although causal links of such effects largely remain unclear (Markusen 2006; Scott 2006), the notion of creativity has firmly become a part of the knowledge economy metatheory (Tremblay 2005). Substantial undertakings to analyze the creative class in Canada were accom- plished for the largest Canadian and Ontario cities, partially with Florida’s own participation (FCM 2002; Gertler et al 2002). This research generally supported the applicability of Florida’s approach to studying creative capital in different geographical settings. * I am grateful to Meric S. Gertler, Richard J. DiFrancesco and the anonymous reviewers for their comments on the earlier versions of this paper.

  • A Creative Class Theory of City Sustainability Policies
    A Creative Class Theory of City Sustainability Policies Jeffrey M. Berry Department of Political Science Tufts University Kent E. Portney Bush School of Government and Public Service Texas A&M University Paper prepared for delivery at the annual conference of the American Political Science Association, Philadelphia, PA, September 1-4, 2016. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract After decades of migration from central cities to suburbs, corporate America is reversing direction and returning in increasing numbers to downtown locations. There are surely many reasons that explain this trend but we begin by focusing on the workforce needs of firms in the modern economy. For those companies competing in knowledge-based industries, the young professionals they are trying to attract may have a strong preference for living in the city rather than in suburban or exurban locations. Part of the attraction to the city is surely related to an array of lifestyle choices, including a city’s disposition toward the environment. Here we look at the intersection of politics, economics, and demographic change and explore three possible (and not mutually exclusive) explanations of sustainable cities. First, we test Richard Florida’s creative class theory and ask if the size of the creative class is related to higher levels of prosperity in the city. Second, acknowledging the growing political liberalism of contemporary cities, we determine if sustainability policies similarly related to the size of the creative class, or are simply a function of aggregate political ideology. Third, we turn from issues of political ideology to mobilization by advocacy organizations, asking if interest group politics structures environmental policymaking.

  • The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited
    CULTURE The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailMore Sharing Services By Richard Florida, The Atlantic Cities June 25, 2012 | 3:53 p.m. The following is an abridged version of the preface to The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited, out this month from Basic Books. It’s been ten years since I published – and a bit longer than that since I wrote – The Rise of the Creative Class. It would be an understatement to say that a lot has changed since then. We’ve see a whole series of world‐shattering events—from the collapse of the tech bubble and 9/11, to the economic and financial meltdown of 2008, any one of which might have been sufficient to derail or reverse the changes in America’s class structure and the economic cultural and social trends I described in that book. Instead, they have only become more deeply ensconced. At a time when the U.S. unemployment rate topped 10 percent, the rate of unemployment for the Creative Class did not hit even 5 percent. By late 2011, the social media site LinkedIn reported that the word most used by its members to describe themselves was ʺcreative.ʺ As TechCrunch put it: ʺIn a time of high unemployment, when traditional skills can be outsourced or automated, creative skills remain highly sought after and highly valuable. We all want to be part of the Creative Class of programmers, designers, and information workers. The term used to mean artists and writers. Today, it means job stability.ʺ The Creative Class has become truly global, numbering between one‐third to nearly one‐half of the workforce in the advanced nations of North America, Europe, Asia, and around the world.

Florida asks us to ask ourselves: ~ will the new "creative class" have as important and revolutionary an impact on the twenty-first-century information­ based economy and society as the working class had in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? According to Fl orida, there are two layers to the creative class. First, there is a "Super-Creative Core" consisting of "scientists and engineers, university professors, poets and novelists, artists, entertainers, actors, designers and architects, as well as the thought leadership of modern society: nonfiction writers, editors, cultural figure s, think-tank researchers, analysts and other opinion-makers." Second, there are "creative professionals" - those who "work in a wide range of knowledge-intensive industries such as high-tech sectors, financial services, ~- the legal and health care professions, and business management" - as well as many technicians and paraprofessionals who now add "creative value" to an enterprise by having to think for themselves.

We study these cities through five distinct periods during this time period: Stable, Crisis, Unemployment Expan- sion, Peak and Post-Peak. We find that having a strong concentration of the creative class going into the crisis is associated with lower unemployment rates throughout the studied period. Like the creative class, highly skilled human capital is associated with lower unemployment throughout the studied period but proves to be a less influential variable in our regression results.
