THE PASSION ECONOMY - ADAM DAVIDSON KARTONIERT ...

The brilliant creator of NPR's Planet Money podcast and award-winning New Yorker staff writer
explains our current economy: laying out its internal logic and revealing the transformative
hope it offers for millions of people to thrive as they never have before. Contrary to what you
may have heard  the middle class is not dying and robots are not stealing our jobs. In fact 
writes Adam Davidson--one of our leading public voices on economic issues-- the
twenty-first-century economic paradigm offers new ways of making money  fresh paths toward
professional fulfillment  and unprecedented opportunities for curious  ambitious individuals to
combine the things they love with their careers. Drawing on the stories of average people doing
exactly this--a dissatisfied accountant overturning his industry  a zealous father creating a
better chocolate bar for his children  a family of craftsmen meeting the technological needs of
Amish farmers--as well as the latest academic research  Davidson demonstrates how the
twentieth-century economy of scale has given way in this century to an economy of passion. He
makes clear  too  that though the adjustment has brought measures of dislocation  confusion 
and even panic  these are most often the result of a lack of understanding. In The Passion
Economy  he delineates the ground rules of the new economy  and armed with these  we begin to
see how we can succeed in it according to its own terms--intimacy  insight  attention 
automation  and  of course  passion. An indispensable road map and a refreshingly optimistic
take on our economic future.
