During the Clinton presidency democratic strategist James Carville, was fond of saying, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Much the same could be said today.

The stimulus and all the federal policies in the world will not help if all we do is prop up the old economy. It is rather the new economy, the creative economy begging for attention.

When John Howkins first reported on The Creative Economy in his book by the same name in 2001, he was talking mostly about the industries we knew well like publishing, theater, theatrical films, music and dance, painting, television and so on.
