THE GDP WALKS THE RED CARPET

摘要

Since the recession, a tiny media industry has been dedicated to educating us about the economy: NPR's Planet Money podcast, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, and the Freakonomics blog, podcast, and book sequels. On Oct. 21, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen joined the party as his Vulcan Productions released a series of 20 shorts called We the Economy. Curated by director Morgan Spurlock, it features the work of filmmakers Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), John Chu (G.I.Joe: Retaliation), Steve James (Hoop Dreams), and Adrian Grenier (er, Adrian Grenier), among others.
