I enjoyed this book very much and it was especially interesting to realize how many of us use celebrities for our own needs.

Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures

7 reviews
Tyler Cowen

Princeton University Press, 2004

Change is Constant
Tyler Cowen very adeptly reminds the reader that the world's regional cultures have never been static. What we think of as "native" art is really a product of global influence on a local population. So of course it seems silly to decry globalization as homogenizing cultures, when we understand that cultures have always interacted with each other. Indeed, what we are seeing with globalization ...

Good and Plenty: The Creative Successes of American Arts Funding

How the US by luck and cunning got public funding right
Good research and scholarship can change the way we see the world. Tyler Cowen achieved this with his study of the counterproductive impact of the Marshall Plan that delivered aid to Europe after WW2. This story can be found on his web site and it might have warned the West off the disastrous aid programs to the Third World that were partly inspired by the Marshall Plan. He has done it again ...

Risk and Business Cycles

Taylor & Francis, 2007

Risk and Business Cycles examines the causes of business cycles, a perennial topic of interest within economics. The author argues the case for the revival of an important role for monetary causes in business cycle theory, which challenges the current trend towards favouring purely real theories. The work also presents a critique of the traditional Austrian theory of the trade cycle. This controversial approach will ensure that the book is of ...

Harvard University Press, 2000

Excellent Account of How Markets Promote Diversity In Art
"In Praise of Commercial Culture" is Cowen's attempt to demonstrate that capitalism and economic growth promote, rather than squelch, individual creativity through artistic expression. In it, he provides a detailed history of the origin and development of markets for literature, painting, sculpture, and music. Throughout the book, he focuses on both pecuniary and non-pecuniary incentives that ...

O Economista Que Há Em Si
Tyler Cowen

Editorial Presença, 2008

A economia popularizou-se graças a um movimento que culminou com Freakonomics, de Steven Levitt e Stephen J. Dubner, e o Economista Difarçado, de Tim Harford. Tyler Cowen compartilha com os seus colegas o mesmo sentido de humor e a mesma sagacidade para percepcionar os mais subtis e inesperados fenómenos onde se pode explorar os efeitos da economia. Tyler Cowen defende que, quer o saibamos ou não, todos somos dotados de intuição económica porque ...

Market Failure or Success: The New Debate

The Independent Institute

Edward Elgar Pub, 2004

Delightful Survey of Anti-capitalist "economics"
This book is intended for a reader with a working knowledge of economics. While not integral, mathematics is used, and a variety of references are made to economic theories, differing schools of thought, and information from previous articles. All of which is assumed to be known already. Having said that, this is an enjoyable read that will show you the "hot spots" in current economic debate. ...

Markets in the Firm: A Market-Process Approach to Management (Hobart Papers)

1 review
Tyler Cowen, David Parker

Institute of Economic Affairs, 1997

A good synopsis of management practice and theory up to the present
I read this along with Senge's The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization and Malone's The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style and Your Life. The Cowen and Parker book was the most satisfying of the three. For one thing, it summarizes recent economic theorizing about the nature of the firm in a short ...

Essential Reading for Collectors of Outsider Art
If you collect amate art this book is essential.

Highly readable, with wonderful anecdotes, what could be a dry subject is transformed into a page-turner.

The Theory of Market Failure: A Critical Examination

1 review

George Mason Univ Pr, 1988

Deep answers to critics of free markets
Although this excellent collection was published in 1988, before the term "New Economy" came into currency, it examines ideas very relevant to the role of government during times of technological change. Recent discussions of "market failure" resulting from network effects or "externalities" have been critiqued by others, especially Margolis and Liebowitz. Cowen's collection digs deep into the ...
