On this week’s episode of Slate Money, host Felix Salmon of Fusion, Cathy O’Neil of Mathbabe.org, and Jordan Weissmann of Slate discuss art markets rich (Art Basel) and less rich (Etsy), a controversy over Where the Wild Things Are author Maurice Sendak’s estate, and the unbelievable amount of money raised for Doctors Without Borders by our listeners.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Art for the rich wealthification and Art Basel.
• Arts (and crafts) for normal people and Etsy.
• The future of children’s author Maurice Sendak’s estate.
• And, from the numbers round, the defense of—and backlash against—high salaries for Silicon Valley interns.
• Plus: Felix Salmon on how Slate Money listeners compelled him to write a check for nearly $20,000—and why it's the best thing he's done this year.

Slate Money will appear every Saturday in the Slate Daily Podcast and its own feed
