129 citations recorded by the source corpus.

This paper evaluates recent claims that art and culture have become more valuable assets in the new economy. Based on conversations with several prominent cultural economists, the author argues that advocates and scholars should be more cautious in their attempts to draw out the implications of the changing economy on culture. Rather than spend time calculating the impact or size of the "creative economy," the author argues that we should direct our analytical and policy energies toward better understanding how creative work and institutions are changing and what might be done to foster a more robust, creative and diverse cultural life.

• The cultural and creative industries: a review of the literature (2007, background): “By the 1990s ‘creativity’ had emerged as a prime contemporary value, and a resource to be mobilised by business (Leadbeater, 1999; Rifkin, 2000; Howkins, 2001; Tepper, 2002).”
• Defining the Creative Economy: Industry and Occupational Approaches (2008, background): “…general, it has been very difficult to reach consensus about what the proper boundaries of the creative industries ought to be, and many remain skeptical about whether existing industrial classifications provide enough information to correctly identify creative enterprises” (Tepper, 2002, p. 163).”
