In his 2013 book Mass Flourishing, Edmund Phelps argues that we need to promote “a culture protecting and inspiring individuality, imagination, understanding, and self-expression that drives a nation’s indigenous innovation.” He believes that creativity has been stifled by a public philosophy described as corporatism, and that only through thorough reform of our private institutions, financial and others, can individuality and dynamism be restored.
在2013年的著作《大繁荣》（Mass Flourishing）中，埃德蒙德·菲尔普斯（Edmund Phelps）认为我们需要促进“保护和启发推动一国内生性创新的个性、想象力、理解和自我表达的文化。”他认为创造力被一种叫社团主义（corporatism）的公共哲学所桎梏，只有通过彻底改革金融和其他领域的私人机构才能重塑个性和活力。
