Tyler Cowen Quotes

The lesson about food is that the most predictable and the most orderly outcomes are always not the best. They are just easier to describe. Fads are orderly. Food carts and fires aren’t. Feeding the world could be a delicious mess, full of diverse flavors and sometimes good old-fashioned smoke Picture Quote #1

Social systems proceed by (usually) covering up the brutalities upon which they are based. The doctor doesn’t let you get to his door and then turn you away, rather his home address is hard to find. The government handcuffs you so they don’t have to shoot you trying to escape. And so on Picture Quote #1

Our love of art is often quite temporary, dependent upon our moods, and our love of art is subservient to our demand for a positive self-image. How we look at art should account for those imperfections and work around them Picture Quote #1

For many artists fame complements the value of creative self-expression. Ludwig van Beethoven loved composing music, but he probably would have enjoyed it less if no one ever listened to the product Picture Quote #1

Marcel Proust shut out visitors from his cork-lined room, where he wrote, but he probably expected to be immortalized in the literary canon. Even the most introverted drives and motives are set in a social context and amplified by the potential for achieving fame Picture Quote #1

Apart from the seemingly magical Internet, life in broad material terms isn’t so different from what it was in 1953... The wonders portrayed in ‘The Jetsons,’ the space-age television cartoon from the 1960s, have not come to pass... Life is better and we have more stuff, but the pace of change has slowed down Picture Quote #1

Understanding economics can help you make better decisions and lead a happier life Picture Quote #1

Newton expected no money from establishing his originality but rather desired recognition for his excellence Picture Quote #1

Food is a product of supply and demand, so try to figure out where the supplies are fresh, the suppliers are creative, and the demanders are informed Picture Quote #1

My view of the internet is that it is way overrated in what it’s done to date but considerably underrated in what it will do Picture Quote #1

The key questions will be: Are you good at working with intelligent machines or not? Are your skills a complement to the skills of the computer, or is the computer doing better without you? Worst of all, are you competing against the computer? Picture Quote #1

The right wing will be identified with the monied class, even when the left often has more money. And the left wing will be identified as the whiners, even though the right at times whines as much or more. You might say that both sides are monied, high human capital whiners, on the whole Picture Quote #1

Keep in mind that books, like art museums, are not always geared to the desires of the reader Picture Quote #1

The more information that’s out there, the greater the returns to just being willing to sit down and apply yourself. Information isn’t what’s scarce; it’s the willingness to do something with it Picture Quote #1

Real cultural diversity results from the interchange of ideas, products, and influences, not from the insular development of a single national style Picture Quote #1
