The Creative Sector and Class of Society

No / The notion of the creative sector/class has been very much put on the map by the recent writings of Richard Florida. The most distinctive feature of the creative class literature is that it seems to minimize the importance of conflict and exploitation which have been the hallmark of the original uses of the concept of class in social analysis. Inevitably, debate must also rage as to who is to be included in the definition of a creative class which, under Florida's broadest definition, has controversially expanded to include psychiatrists amongst others.
