How the last two centuries led to today’s economy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adam Davidson, co-founder of NPR's Planet Money, can trace a line through time from homemade clothing and baked goods to today's passion economy. Davidson argues that a combination of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is how we got to where we are.
We shifted from an intimate and localized economy of goods and services to an economy of scale, and finally to what Davidson refers to as "intimacy at scale."
There are, of course, positive attributes to this hybrid economic system, but it also comes with some of the flaws of its predecessors.
