FLIGHT OF THE CREATIVE CLASS: THE NEW GLOBAL COMPETITION TALENT

Book ID/图书代码： 07B10569

English Summary/英文概要： Today’s most valued workers are what economist Richard Florida calls the Creative Class. In his bestselling The Rise of the Creative Class, Florida identified these variously skilled individuals as the source of economic revitalization in US cities. In that book, he shows that investment in technology and a civic culture of tolerance (most often marked by the presence of a large gay community) are the key ingredients to attracting and maintaining a local creative class.
In The Flight of the Creative Class, Florida expands his research to cover the global competition to attract the Creative Class. The USA once led the world in terms of creative capital. Since 2002, factors like the Bush administration’s emphasis on smokestack industries, heightened security concerns after 9/11 and the growing cultural divide between conservatives and liberals have put the US at a large disadvantage. With numerous small countries, such as Ireland, New Zealand and Finland, now tapping into the enormous economic value of this class – and doing all in their power to attract these workers and build a robust economy driven by creative capital – how much further behind will USA fall?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 現今最有價值的人才，莫過於是有個創造力的頭腦，他進一步的研究發現，在全球競爭力的社會下所有公司都仰賴於員工是否有創造力。美國從911恐怖攻擊後，布希政府對於出入海關要求嚴格，卻也因此限制更多人才入境美國，而相對之下其他較小的國家，例如: 愛爾蘭、紐西蘭、芬蘭，已經居於全球經濟創造力人才的領導地位。而其他國家是否能引領經濟發展，全靠人們的創造力。
