How the last two centuries led to today?s economy | Adam Davidson | Big Think
April 24, 2020

Adam Davidson, co-founder of NPR's Planet Money, explains how the economy evolved over the last two centuries, shifting from localized production to "intimacy at scale." This hybrid system, combining elements of the 19th and 20th centuries, presents both benefits and drawbacks.

Davidson, a staff writer at The New Yorker and former economics writer for The New York Times Magazine, is an award-winning journalist, having received a Peabody for his coverage of the financial crisis.

His latest book, *The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the Twenty-First Century*, further explores these themes. You can find it here.
