If you are looking for a fun page turner this one is not for you. Against Creativity (2018) by Oli Mould is what I’d file under “books that are fascinating but maybe too intellectual for me.” Mould makes a compelling case against creative capitalism, where the use of “creative” or “creativity” is really just. a sexy way to say “do more with less.” Wonder why the “creative” skillset is on every job description? Come for the gentrification beat down, stay for the realization that your creative title is masking corporate abuse. Great reading for the holidays! Buy for your loved ones.
