The Economy of Creativity in the 21st Century

A timely intellectual non-fiction that addresses the question of how people in creative professions can make a living in the age of digital technologies. Based on interviews with writers, musicians, artists, and performers, the author of the book asserts that while in the Renaissance artists were craftsmen, in the 19th century they became bohemians, and in the 20th century they turned into professionals, a new paradigm emerges in the digital age, changing our perceptions of the nature of art and the role of the artist in society.
