Abstract
The Making Of provides insight into the methodology of this work by revisiting the research process of qualitative data analysis and building theory from cases. The Making Of reveals how this work was inspired by observing highly unequal economic rewards among creatives in Berlin, how these initial observations were put into the wider discourse of a rising creative economy in post-industrial societies, how expert interviews with commercial gallerists in three cities revealed strategic properties of everyday practices of making value and building careers, and how a stylized heuristic conceptualization of a selection system of institutions and practices of making value and career building came gradually into being.
