I am not sure if anyone noticed the parody about our common misconceptions and outdated notions about creativity and art as they relate to the economy on last night's episode of "Office" called aptly enough "Business School" (Episode 3)

Once again, these two small examples are symptomatic of the larger movement and discussion within the creative industries about solving the endemic vagueness around creative financials that I alluded two last year in one of my first posts. This discussion will intensify in the coming years and include Wall Street and private equity funds and emergent media firms like Google, Itunes, and Amazon.
