Focusing a broad range of examples from the realms of social imagination and precarious cultural work, Creative Capitalism, Multitudinous Creativity is a translocal companion to creative and other commons. The book displays that with every piece of creativity sucked by machinic capitalism, countless new lines of invention are emerging as contemporary multitudinous radicality.

The excellent essays in this collection analyze how creativity functions both with and against contemporary capitalism: how "creative work" configures new forms of domination and how creativity animates anticapitalist protest repertoires. In the course of the essays also emerges a fascinating dialogue between European and Latin American perspectives to demonstrate the extent to which creative capitalism looks and functions differently across the North / South divide.
