Biran's Opportunism: How to Change the World – One Idea at a Time (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; January 25, 2011), emphasizes that creativity is a valuable commodity and introduces a bold new framework on how to protect and nurture the growing "creative class." Provocative and bound to be controversial, Biran's plan would affect disciplines ranging from the entertainment industry to business to law to urban planning to international policy. Certainly a relevant and intriguing discussion not to be missed.
