The Passion Economy

"New Yorker" staff writer and creator of NPR's "Planet Money" Adam Davidson presents a refreshingly optimistic yet savvy and astute slant on the economic moment, showing how the nature of contemporary economics gives people more opportunity to reconcile what they enjoy or care about with their careers.
