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?

there is no way that i could do my job without being in nyc.
i am a shoe designer, which is such a small subset of the fashion industry. there is almost literally no other city in the us where i could have gotten the education, or experience to pursue this career!
It's a tough question. My husband (architect) and I (artist) had to leave NYC after a decade because we realized we just couldn't do the work we wanted to do there. So now we live in West Texas, which is like traveling back in time 30 years.
Being an artist without a trust fund and living in NYC is cost prohibitive, but you get what you pay for. I miss it every single day. I miss the extraordinary people, sights, smells, the beauty, the stimulation, the food. The everything.
