" Creative work has been celebrated as the highest form of achievement since at least Aristotle. But our understanding of the dynamics and market for creative work — artistic work in particular — often relies on unexamined clichés about individual genius, industrial engineering of talent, and the fickleness of fashion." excerpt from Menger's book The Economics of Creativity. Art and Achievement under Uncertainty, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 2014.
