Abstract/Description:

The relationship between inner and outer creativity takes place within a broad discourse. This chapter argues that the discourse has been influenced by the rise of the property paradigm, and the chapter investigates how that paradigm arose. Assumptions have been made about the nature of property, and it is argued that this has skewed the focus of regulation away from creativity per se, towards more capitalist conceptions of exploitation. It is argued that there has formed an administrative core of property, where debate about the scope of property protection becomes impossible. As a result, increasingly the zone of discourse has become focused around economics principles, but such principles lead to confusion between units of exchange and the processes of creativity necessary for the continued creative development of the State.
