Pink’s Reading Response
3/2/10
Pink is absolutely right: creativity and innovation will be a boon for post-industrial, post-information age workers now that countries like China and India can produce cheaper knowledge workers. However, the economics of supply and demand will simply do the same to this new conceptual age worker that it did to programmers and MBAs. Once the economy is flooded with talented designers and creative personnel, the market will correct and wages will fall. And many creative and brilliant "whole brain" workers will become yet again another glut of talent. In the end, the market favors no whole class of worker but rather the most unique and talented of a class. And this has always been the case.
