In his recent and important book Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures (Princeton University Press), economist Tyler Cowen argues that something very different -- and much more heartening -- is going on.

Instead, we have very creative regions or polities, but they tend to be like India, Brazil, or the United States: They're large and complex and varied, but no single part of it lives much in isolation.

One would have thought that creative writing (fiction, poetry) would have made an interesting case-study -- among other reasons because translation adapts the original in a way almost unique among art-forms (music, painting, even sub-titled film remain far truer to the original).
Creative Destruction does provide a very good overview of the issues raised and the various consequences of globalization on culture, but doesn't go nearly as much in depth as one would wish -- almost each bit leaves the reader with additional questions and raises additional issues.

 Flirting with Fascism
Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad.
This is not the first time Ledeen has written eloquently on his love for “the democratic revolution” and “creative destruction.” In 1996, he gave an extended account of his theory of revolution in his book, Freedom Betrayed — the title, one assumes, is a deliberate reference to Trotsky’s Revolution Betrayed.
As Ledeen shows, the Italian fascists expressed their desire “to tear down the old order” (his words from 2002) in terms that are curiously anticipatory of a famous statement in 2003 by the Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.

 Cowen, T.: Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures.
Creative Destruction brings not stale suppositions but an economist's eye to bear on an age-old question: Are market exchange and aesthetic quality friends or foes?
Through an array of colorful examples from the areas where globalization's critics have been most vocal, Cowen asks what happens when cultures collide through trade, whether technology destroys native arts, why (and whether) Hollywood movies rule the world, whether "globalized" culture is dumbing down societies everywhere, and if national cultures matter at all.
Cowen's point, argued neatly in Creative Destruction, is that the invasion works both ways.

 Book Review -- Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Culture
It is for this reason that Cowen employs the phase “creative destruction,” made famous by the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter.
But out of this “destruction” of the status quo arises the “creative” that transforms the social and economic structures into forms and shapes that then become the new status quo — until the next wave of innovation and change sets the process into motion once again.
This is what has made the modern world, with its standard of living, its comforts and amenities, and its cultural life and possibilities.

 Wired 10.03: The Father of Creative Destruction
Schumpeter argued that capitalism exists in the state of ferment he dubbed "creative destruction," with spurts of innovation destroying established enterprises and yielding new ones.
In a paper presented at a recent Fed retreat, former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers and his ex-deputy Bradford DeLong observed that "the economy of the future is likely to be 'Schumpeterian,'" with creative destruction the norm and innovation the main driver of wealth.
Yet creative destruction is only half of Schumpeter's message.

Tyler Cowen's "Creative Destruction" is the result - a book that ignores global corporatism and the roles that states and their creations - i.e.
On creativity: Cowen isn't writing a philosophical treatise on creativity, so if he ignores the "external influences" on it, that's not a just criticism.
But it's surprising that someone could read this book and miss the point: Cowen is arguing that the creativity of others is an external influence on an individual's creativity, so the value of global exchange is that our creativity is stimulated by contact with other country's cultural goods.

The general prescription is to increase the rate of creative destruction to the level of the market itself, without losing control of present operations.
Let those who run a business determine the best mix of controls for their business (they know the system best), and shift the burden of integration to the corporate level rather than designing uniform systems that have to be implemented, throughout a corporation, independent of the business.
When such changes are implemented, the focus of the corporation will shift from minimizing risk, and thereby inadvertently stifling creativity, to facilitating creativity-and that is what is needed to strengthen long-term performance.
