The Edge with Mark Thompson

It's The Economy, Stupid! Finally, A Noted Economist Visits the Show


Listen Later

Tyler Cowen is a noted economist and professor at George Mason University in Washington.  He has published many books on economics and our culture.  

His latest is:

The Complacent Class: The Self Defeating Quest for the American Dream 

His book breaks down this moment in time in economic terms.

We are not as inventive, entrepreneurial, versatile, daring or even productive as past generations.  But within this cultural and economic moment in time there ARE members of society who take chances and make positive economic change happen.

J. Elvis Weinstein (Josh) and Heather Ankeny join Mark Thompson for this conversation.

Before that, Mark walks us through an Apple lawsuit, Elon Musk's day and a fact about millennials.
