Творческий человек в экономике будущего

Abstract

The article shows that in the economy of the future, the dominant position of creative activity will be more and more prominent. The attributes of creative activity are highlighted. Moreover, the author argues the thesis about the need of developing a space in which intellectual private property is initially supplemented, and then replaced by the everyone’s ownership of everything; equal access to personal development resources (education, etc.), cultural benefits is ensured; the idea of the importance of advancing the development of the public sector is being elaborated on. The author also shows that in the modern economy, which is defined in the article as late capitalism, creative activity is inconsistently associated with the relations of hiring and bending the creator to market conditions. The contradiction of the two principles that are characteristic of every creative worker acting in modern conditions both as a homo creator and as a homo economicus is discussed. It is shown that creative workers employed in the public sector are gradually forming a new social stratum - the socialitat. The expediency of carrying out deep reforms at the starting point, and further qualitative changes in the economy, aimed at the birth of the «realm of freedom», the relations in which remove the boundaries of the development of creative activity generated by socio-economic alienation, is substantiated. In conclusion, the question is raised whether a society dominated by creative activity will become qualitatively different not only from capitalism, but also from any other socio-economic system of the past.
