Creativity As Capital
For a Changing World

The Idea

We tend to treat creativity as a personal virtue, or at best a professional perk, rather than what it actually is: a public necessity. In a moment defined by overlapping, complex crises, the ability to think and act creatively isn't a soft skill on the margins of progress. It's the engine of it.

Abby Lehman makes the case for creativity as infrastructure: something to be invested in, cultivated, and treated with the same seriousness as any other form of capital that shapes how societies adapt and grow.
