The Transformation of Everyday Life and the Evolution of a "Creative Class"

Abstract: A 5 page review of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class and How It's Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life". Examining the presumed experiences of two time travelers, one who travels from 1900 to 1950 and the other who travels from 1950 to the present, the contention is presented that neither has our technology been responsible for the shaping of our culture nor have the stronger members in our society imposed their values on the rest of the world in order to shape this culture. Instead we have changed because we sought change and the evolution of a Creative Class has been a critical element in this process. No additional sources are listed.
