CCSkills and Counterpoint launch ‘After the Crunch’
April 26th, 2009 by Thoughts
We were very pleased to be recently asked to contribute to ‘After the Crunch’, a new book launched this week by Creative & Cultural Skills and Counterpoint, the British Council think tank.
“In the last ten years the creative industries have become one of the most fashionable and talked-about components of the global economy. Are they just froth on the surface of exuberant capitalism, about to be blown away by global recession?” - so ask the editors, who include Shelagh Wright, John Newbigin, John Kiefer, John Holden and Tom Bewick.
In the book, 42 artists, entrepreneurs, commentators, analysts, policy-makers, policy-sceptics, academics, financiers - and citizens - set out their hopes and fears for the future and ask you to join the debate about what kind of world you want, After The Crunch.
