policy, has a dark side: Cities that have a larger creative talent pool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
are also likely to have greater income inequality. Richard Florida, in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
acknowledging this disturbing trend, has assigned a new role to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
creative class-helping low-wage service sector employees harness and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
express their creative energy and talent. In this article, the authors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore the complex relationship between creative workers and earnings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in the context of the broader urban economy. Drawing on this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis and an expansive body of literature on urban income inequality,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the authors propose an alternative set of policy actions aimed at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mediating creativity and inequality through a deepening of traditional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market institutions and legislative supports. In contrast to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
claims that these are obsolete solutions in the new economy, the authors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
argue they are necessary for the long-term sustainability of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
creative economy.'
