Decline of the creative class



Another negative effect of the Bush administration:


"...Washington has inspired the fury of the world, especially of its educated classes, with its my-way-or-the-highway foreign policy. In effect, for the first time in our history, we’re saying to highly mobile and very finicky global talent, 'You don’t belong here.' "

"...For the first time in modern memory, top scientists and intellectuals from elsewhere are choosing not to come here."

"If there is any candidate who speaks for the creative class right now, it is Howard Dean. His educated, tech-savvy supporters and grass-roots, non-hierarchal campaign structure perfectly represent the creative economy."
