Listen To The New Yorker's Adam Davidson Talk About "The Passion Economy"

A special broadcast of this event will air on 90.9 WBUR, Sunday 8 p.m. EST


Last month, Jeremy Hobson, co-host of Here & Now, interviewed Adam Davidson, New Yorker staff writer and creator of NPR’s Planet Money, about the forces shaping the new economy and his first book, "The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the 21st Century" at WBUR CitySpace.
