Down and Out in the Creative Economy?

In The Rise of the Creative Class, Richard Florida mentions that in an economy dominated by creative workers. compensation is not the main focus of work. Creative people will work for "challange, enjoyment, to do good, to make a contribution, and to learn." This sounds similar to Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow, where the quality of one's work, and it's effect on others defines the economy.
