I just finished Max Wyman’s “The Defiant Imagination” and have reviewed it here.
The information age doesn’t give rise to an information economy… when we all have access to vast amounts of information it will be our capacity to use that information that will matter. Those who are creative, you can imagine something new and different, will prosper. Max Wyman articulated that when I met him and it struck me as critically important. His book explains how the arts, and particularly the arts in education, will be essential to equipping us with the skills of imagination we will need to prosper in the creative economy.
Thanks for the interesting review. You might want to know about a conference in October called the National Conference on the Creative Economy. It will be in Virginia. The Web site is http://www.creativeeconomies.org.
