After The Crunch is a 54-page “collection of texts” (published by the Creative & Cultural Skills Council and the British Council) discussing how the creative economy might help the UK to emerge from the recession…

“42 artists, entrepreneurs, commentators, analysts, policy-makers, policy-sceptics, academics, financiers — and citizens — to set out their hopes and fears for the future.”

“Enhanced respect for online privacy” might be added to the list, since you need to give up your personal details and email address before they’ll allow you download it. Luckily, the ever-reliable Googlebot sniffed out the direct PDF link (PDF, 4Mb).
