Happy Publication Day to Phil Graham, whose new monograph "Cultural Politics of the Creative Industries" is now available. This, from the author's preface: "This book is concerned with the nature and force of creative labour, those forms of artistic work directed exogenously towards commercial and political ends. It is especially concerned with creative labour’s hidden force, the extent of which is often obscured by many factors, including the sector’s successes." https://lnkd.in/ecxF-TVT

Happy Publication Day to Christopher Wong Michaelson and Jennifer Tosti-Kharas whose new book, The Meaning and Purpose of Work, is now available! "An important book written by two of the world’s leading thinkers on meaningful work [and] full of real-world examples and personal experiences that bring profound insights from multiple disciplines to life. I came away moved, challenged and inspired to reconsider what makes work meaningful in contemporary society." Katie Bailey "Finally! A book about work and meaning and purpose that is worth reading. It speaks to the questions that we all have in our hearts. And it gives us a framework for hope. Yes we can create better businesses and a better future for our children." R. Edward Freeman "This book delves into the heart of our contemporary work crisis, exploring how pivotal events and societal shifts have urgently redefined our search for purpose in the workplace. The ground-breaking framework offers a visionary approach to harmonizing individuals' needs for meaningful work with society's greater good." Aruna Ranganathan "A panoramic look at how work is both restructured and misunderstood in a post-pandemic world." Thomas Donaldson "This book puts the question of "what does my work mean?" and "why is it worth doing?" squarely on our agenda. It brilliantly interweaves stories of people searching for, finding, and not finding meaning with what we know from the science of work meaning." Sue Ashford "A remarkable volume, this book serves as a compelling call to action for those seeking to imbue their work with purpose and significance. A must-read for anyone striving to find purpose and make a meaningful difference in the world and harness the transformative potential of work." Yohuru Williams https://lnkd.in/eBvr4Fqm

Happy Publication Day to Chris Grocott's "The Ideas That Rule Us: How to Understand, Organise and Fight Against Bad Economics" "You might ask yourself, how did we get here: broken public services, polluted rivers and the return of rickets? Chris Grocotttprovides a crucial part of the answer, deftly recounting the history of the ideas that have come to drive policy, shape behaviour and dominate thinking." David Harvie "The state of affairs that economists so often justify is producing gigantic inequalities and a climate crisis. In this beautiful little book, Chris Grocott punctures the old stories and encourages the birth of new ones. This is essential reading which will help us to produce a low carbon, high inclusion, high democracy economy." Martin Parker https://lnkd.in/e2WYkJpJ

Congratulations to Bonita M. Kolb, Ph.D. on the publication of the latest edition of her successful textbook, Entrepreneurship in the Arts! "A valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about making creative dreams a reality and leadership within this exciting industry. Kolb presents foundational concepts concisely, in a language that is accessible to students and instructors alike. I highly recommend this edition and loved working through the book with my class!" Christina R. Haldane, Mount Allison University, Canada "This book speaks directly to readers with no business background who might struggle understanding entrepreneurial concepts. It attempts to bridge the gap between arts and commerce by teaching cultural and creative practitioners how to start up a creative enterprise. Kolb accompanies them throughout the whole process using non‑business parlance. The practical examples and case studies, including the business plan template, are particularly useful." Michael Kho Lim https://lnkd.in/e-6uyQrs
