Abstract:
the article critically analyzes the widespread views on the problems associated with creative activity, on the composition and role of the so-called creative class and creative industries. The author shows that many popular views, despite their widespread prevalence, do not stand up to either theoretical or empirical testing. At the same time, these distorted ideas did not appear from scratch, but reflect, firstly, the increased role of creative activity, and, secondly, the specific framework in which creative activity is placed in the conditions of modern capitalism. The author contrasts these ideas with his own view of the nature and prospects of creative activity, which can and should be put at the service of the goals of human development
