Creative Industries: Theories and Practices

Creative industries, the creative class, creative clusters, and the creative economy are concepts that, by the second decade of the 21st century, have already entered common usage both in the world and in Russia. Some role in this was played by the first edition of this book (2010). It outlines the formation of key ideas and modern practices of the creative economy. The second edition is supplemented with an analysis of new phenomena and trends. Today, this is the only book in Russia that makes it possible to learn everything about creative industries—from their origins to the best-known success stories.
