[p2p-research] newsweek on The Creativity Crisis

[Michel Bauwens]

Michael, and others,

do you have any specific idea of why creativity started declining in the
90's, and not before?

seems to me that it is too late to blame TV for this, and to early to blame
the internet which only became in full usage in the late 90's

changes in the school system?

otherwise, of course, Ryan's comment that the death of creativity is "good
news for socialism", is baffling,

first, because as you correctly point out, it occurred in the era of
neoliberal dominance, so following the policy prescriptions of the free
market ideology, secondly, because historically, socialism has been about
extending creativity for all .. while I think Stalinist systems were
counter-creative because of their enforced collectivism under the umbrella
of a bureaucratic state, the historical record of social-democracy in
extending aphabetisation, schooling, and creative education for all, has no
parallel ... it stands as a major achievement of humanity ...

who could consider scandinavian states as non-creative? they have a very
strong record of technological innovation, and unlike Silicon Valley, they
do not achieve this by a brain drain from the rest of the world, but by
internal dynamics,

Michel
