Hvordan kan vi med mere fokus på kreativitet forme en bedre fremtid? Og omvendt: Hvordan kan vi tabe alt som mange civilisationer før os, hvis vi hæmmer kreativiteten?

Hvis man vil forstå, hvilken forskel kreativitet kan gøre, er Tvedes bog det rette sted at starte. Tag derfor med på rejse gennem menneskehedens historie og se bl.a. her, hvorfor homo sapiens udkonkurrerede neandertalerne, og hvordan Vesten startede en uhørt kreativ eksplosion i middelalderen, samtidig med at de tidligere mere dynamiske islamiske og kinesiske folkeslag gik i stå.

Læs også hans forklaring på, hvordan kreativitet dybest set opstår – uanset om det er i naturen, i erhvervslivet eller blandt nationer. Dybest set kan det koges ned til blot fire fænomener, der skal kombineres for at få kreativitet og mangfoldighed til at blomstre – hver gang. Men hæmmer man kreativiteten, får man ikke blot statiske samfund, ifølge Tvede, man får forvitring, gældssætning, pessimisme og til sidst forfald eller kollaps.

Vestlige nationer tager nu tilløb til sådanne problemer, og nogle frygter nedture som Argentinas eller værre. Men fremtiden kan også blive forbavsende god, siger Tvede, og skitserer en række positive og i øvrigt ofte anti-intuitive konsekvenser, hvis vi virkelig evner at åbne de kreative sluser.
