SUMMARY:Thomas Frank
DESCRIPTION:“Innovation” and “creativity” have been the defining watchwor
 ds of American exceptionalism for decades. They’re deployed by business 
 leaders\, techies\, military strategists\, educators\, and urban planner
 s to describe our unique standing in the world. While other countries su
 pposedly suffer from regimentation and a fatal lack of imagination\, the
  United States is often portrayed as an unmatched dynamo of new ideas an
 d products. In The Creativity Con\, Thomas Frank disabuses us of this no
 tion\, offering a provocative account of the way creativity and innovati
 on have been used as a kind of ideological cover for policies that reinf
 orce the class system. Frank charts the construction of America’s glamor
 ous self-image from Sputnik to Silicon Valley\, Apple to Lockheed Martin
 \, and Madison Avenue to Main Street. He deconstructs the innovation age
 ndas touted by politicians\, reads pop psychology\, tours SXSW\, and loo
 ks in on the cafés that populate the neighborhoods built for the creativ
 e class. Along\n\nMore info: https://townhallseattle.org/event/thomas-fr
