Creatocracy: How the Constitution Invented Hollywood

Intellectual Property fuels American cultural iconography.

If you're intrigued by the interplay between constitutional law and cultural innovation, "Creatocracy" by Elizabeth Wurtzel could resonate with you. It's a spirited exploration of how one clause helped shape the American artistic landscape. Wurtzel's unconventional perspective will appeal to those interested in the creative process, legalese turned into layman's terms, and Americana. Expect a book that educates as it entertains, all while redefining patriotism through pop culture lenses.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The defining characteristic of America is our dream big, we think large, we create grandeur... And we created Elizabeth, a celebrated writer who has lent her voice to depression, to women scorned, to addiction, and now to the Constitution of our great states. True to form, Wurtzel brings to life the dry document that framed our nation, homing in on one key feature - the Intellectual Property clause - which she credits for everything cool in our country, from Bruce Springsteen and rock 'n roll, to Jeff Koons and his stainless steel balloons, to Half & Half in our coffee. In Creatocracy, Elizabeth Wurtzel has masterfully written a crash-course in American history and the arts, wise and witty, full of humor and insight. This is pop patriotism in book form.
