(Ebook) Creative Economy as a development strategy: a view of developing countries by Ana Carla Fonseca Reis (editor) ISBN 9788585291877, 8585291877

I based the conception of this book on the Sturm und Drang that comes from my experience in the realms of marketing, economy, and culture. It deeply disquiets me to immerse in the cultural universe of the most diverse peoples and acknowledge that the more sincere and vulnerable they are, the less they notice the gargantuan diff erence between the value of what they produce and the prices they practice, between the symbolic and economic spheres of culture. I am concerned that apprentices of millenary cultural arts and young talents of the new media have put their cultural production behind them to work in a different profession in face of the difficulties in circulating and sponsoring their works. I am flabbergasted to observe that we insist on socioeconomic paradigms that are unable to promote the so-called social well-being amidst the never-ending struggle between distributive justice and allocative efficiency, now worsened by rapidly increasing environmental issues. …In order to explore the solidity of the pillars that support the so-called creativeeconomy as developmental strategy, each author came across three questions:what is creative economy? Could it actually be a developmental strategy? If yes,what is necessary to turn this potential into reality? These issues not only provideda view regarding their geographical context, but also added specific relevantaspects to their analyses.
