As Samuel W. Franklin reveals, postwar Americans created creativity, through campaigns to define and harness the power of the individual to meet the demands of American capitalism and life under the Cold War. Creativity was championed by a cluster of professionals\u2014psychologists, engineers, and advertising people\u2014as a cure for the conformity and alienation they feared was stifling American ingenuity. It was touted as a force of individualism and the human spirit, a new middle-class aspiration that suited the needs of corporate America and the spirit of anticommunism.<\/p>\n<p>Amid increasingly rigid systems, creativity took on an air of romance; it was a more democratic quality than genius, but more rarified than mere intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"appip-block-wrapper block-there\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-wrapper amazon-template--elements-default\">\n<div class=\"amazon-element-title\">\n<h4 class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00DCGJ6VS?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Charioteer: A Novel<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-lg-image\">\n<div class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00DCGJ6VS?tag=bookcycling-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"amazonwin\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51g6ZCzkjaL._SL500_.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buy Now\" width=\"147\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"amazon-element-Author\"><strong>Author: Renault, Mary<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Regularly $17.99, Today $2.99<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>LGBTQ+ Literary Fiction<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>After being wounded at Dunkirk in World War II, Laurie Odell is sent back home to a rural British hospital.
