Ep. 68: Peak America with Tyler Cowen— Political Economy with James Pethokoukis - a podcast by American Enterprise Institute

Some have argued that we are at Peak America – as in, we’ve hit a plateau economically. What kinds of repercussions does that have for culture and American society more generally? And has postwar American culture itself contributed to decreasing economic dynamism? Tyler Cowen addresses these questions in his new book, “The Complacent Class: The Self-defeating Quest for the American Dream.”

Tyler Cowen is the Holbert L. Harris Chair of Economics at George Mason University, and serves as chairman and general director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. With colleague Alex Tabarrok, Cowen is coauthor of the popular economics blog Marginal Revolution and cofounder of the online educational platform Marginal Revolution University.
