Davidson wants people to embrace what he calls the “passion economy.” In his book published, "The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the Twenty-First Century," the New Yorker writer explains how this economy creates opportunities for people to use unique skills and interests to create new kinds of businesses and find fulfilling careers. A former NPR international business and economics reporter and co-founder of podcast Planet Money, Davidson spent years reporting on the painful side of economic transition. While he saw many people experience agony and confusion, he says he also realized some “regular people” were finding ways to thrive. Though he thinks more people can join the passion economy, Davidson acknowledges that not everyone can be passionate about their work.
