商品簡介
Peters (education, U. of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana), Marginson (higher education, U. of Melbourne, Australia) and Murphy (communications, Monash U., Australia) examine the role of creativity, design and aesthetics within various economic models, noting that the relationship may foster democracy within intellectual property laws. Intended as the first book in a trilogy on creativity and a global knowledge economy, this volume stresses the value of the imagination when it comes to solving crises such as financial instability, credit mismanagement, sudden market fluctuations, the environment and poverty. Written for students and practitioners of economics, this book challenges readers to design "creative institutions" to manage both innovations and the existing knowledge base.
