Culture: The Other Financial District
Conversations about New York City’s financial well-being tend to start and end with Wall Street. Today on Soundcheck, the author of The Warhol Economy argues that policymakers are ignoring an even more vital economic sector: music, fashion and the arts. Later on the show: composer and violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain mixes classical music with progressive electronica. He joins us to talk about his debut album and a new multimedia piece, plus he plays live in our studio.
Broadway in Dollars
What happens to New York's economy when most of Broadway comes to a grinding hault? Robert J. Hughes, a reporter at the Wall Street Journal, explains how the current stagehands strike is impacting the city's business climate.
The Warhol Economy
In the new book The Warhol Economy author Elizabeth Currid dares to suggest that New York's cultural sector is just as important, or more so, than Wall Street. But, she argues, that contribution has long been underestimated and it's now in danger of slipping. She joins us to explain why.
Weigh in: Do you need to be in New York to be an artist? Can you be as successful elsewhere?
