Abstract
  • What happens when creative people are not financially secure enough to create? When consumers do not have sufficient income to purchase their work? Or when financialization depresses wages, the government no longer supports the arts, and the consumers react against it? Scott Timberg’s great warning is that, under these conditions, we will lose our ability to reflect as individuals and as a culture. We will cease to communicate through human values and instead only communicate through monetary value. Timberg posits this ominous warning through anecdotes and personal encounters with characters ranging from record store clerks to graphic designers as well as architects, authors, and musicians.
