YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAdam Davidson discusses his book, "The Passion Economy", with Daniel Pink at Politics and Prose.
As the 20th century’s economy of scale evolves into a new economy of passion, Davidson, the award-winning founder of NPR's Planet Money podcast and a staff writer at The New Yorker, argues that we have a bright future ahead of us, showing how the last century’s economy of scale is evolving to accommodate individuals’ unique drives, interests, and dilemmas. Writing with his signature mix of hard statistics, lucid explanations, and compelling stories from a wide range of innovators —crusading descendants of sweatshop workers and Amish craftsmen alike—Davidson illuminates an economy that will operate by new rules of intimacy, insight, attention, automation, and passion.
