                the issue of social economy of creativity we seek to
                enlarge the spectrum of creativity's political economy.
              Creativity refers to many things: it is both a
                means of production and a fetish of consumption, a sheer
                ideology of the capitalism which calls itself
                post-industrial and an efficient device of social and
                industrial management, it reflects the elitist privilege
                of the ruling elite as well as the aspirations of the
                underprivileged rabble. If it is true that
              contemporary capitalism has made an decisive shift from in
              its modes of producing value then creativity and in
              particular collective creativity becomes a central
              category for the whole society. Or maybe the new paradigm
              is just a humbug that covers up the overall crisis of the
              existing one. Maybe we still linger under the rule of the
              old law of value based rather on living labor then
              creative networking. In this case the new social economy
              of the creativity would be a powerful symptom of a present
              crisis.
