Apr 11, 2010 Economy
Econstories.tv is a place to learn about the economic way of thinking through the eyes of creative director John Papola and creative economist Russ Roberts

Examined Life. Astra Taylor
Apr 21, 2009 City
Interview: Astra Taylor, Director EXAMINED LIFE

Her non-traditional upbringing, or as she calls it, her “super weirdo hippy background,” stood her in good stead, providing a strong sense of confidence and an affirmation in her own abilities and artistic vision.
