PROLIFIC, BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Tyler Cowen is the author of 19 books, including the New York Times bestseller The Great Stagnation. He is the coauthor of the blog Marginal Revolution, which is consistently named one of the best economics blogs. Stubborn Attachments is the culmination of 20 years of thinking and research. ACCESSIBLE ECONOMICS: Cowen’s plainspoken writing makes complex economic arguments accessible to anyone. Stubborn Attachments presents a compelling, counterintuitive case that we should pursue economic growth as a moral imperative. FOCUS ON ALTRUISM:
As a means of practicing the altruism that the book argues for, Cowen
is donating all earnings from this book to a man he met in Ethiopia with
aspirations to open his own travel business. ENGAGED COMMUNITY:
