Thomas Frank's New Book Calls Innovation a 'Racket'
Original: The Creativity Con: How Innovation Became America’s Biggest Racket by Thomas Frank (Penguin Press, 2026) Taken from http
Author Thomas Frank is releasing The Creativity Con: How Innovation Became America's Biggest Racket, published by Penguin Press in 2026. An excerpt ran in Jacobin, arguing that the innovation economy and 'creativity class' rhetoric has served inequality and neoliberalism rather than genuine progress. Readers on social media are sharing the book under book-related tags.
Why now: A prominent left-wing author's new book arguing innovation culture is a con is drawing attention via a Jacobin excerpt.
