This month our Creative Book Club reads “Against Creativity” by Oli Mould. This was a book we choose because it seemed to have a different approach to most creativity books, and it did not disappoint. Whether or not you agree with the key message of the book, you will find ideas that will make you question your own role in the so-called Creative Class.  

Certainly not a light read, Against Creativity, highlights the role of the creative class in the maintenance of the Neo Liberal status quo. Looking at work, people, politics, technology and cities, the author takes us through the many ways in which he believes the idea of creativity has been coopted by capitalism to maximize profit and minimize collective power.
