Feature Interview – The Have and the Have Yachts
There are more billionaires now than ever before. We know their names, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos. But we don't really know their lives. We share the same planet, but they occupy a different world. The New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos began writing about the uber rich when Americans who professed disdain for billionaires then elected one as President. His essays come together in a book that offers a rare view from the penthouse that reveals the habits, fixations and obsessions of the very rich and how they see the rest of us. The book is called "The Haves and the Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich." Tags: To embed this content on your own webpage, cut and paste the following: See terms of use.

After an initial stint at CNZ, she returned to the orchestra as artistic manager and then CEO for 10 years, seeing the organsation through the years after the Christchurch earthquakes. La Roche has a long history of advocacy of artists and as a musician also commissioned many new works. She joins Culture 101 for Fast Favourites. These include The Big Sing, Mokotron, Tiki Taane with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Taane's current tour with Kereama Taepa and Chamber Music New Zealand. A current favourite book is The Sound of Utopia, Musicians in the Time of Stalin by Michel Krielaars. It speaks, she says, to the important contentious role of the artist as well as her love of the Russian composers.
