Tyler Cowen on Talent

Tyler Cowen is an economist, author, podcaster, venture and philanthropic sponsor. Tyler is one of my intellectual heroes, this is his third appearance on this program and we'll be anchoring this discussion around his new book *Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World* co-authored with Daniel Gross. Tyler blogs at marginalrevolution.com (I've been reading it every day for about 15 years) and hosts the only must-listen podcast in my player: Conversations with Tyler. Tyler is an inspiration!In the show we talk about:* Why the book deserves to succeed in a moral sense* Is Tyler moving away from academia? * What do I think the main connection is between Tyler and Daniel and how it informs this book?* What is the goal of writing this book?* What is the most important academic result... (ironic, I say!)* Why should Tyler's podcast guests be scared? * Is bias good or bad?* The list of tools available to those in power law businesses has grown!Book link:https://www.amazon.com/Talent-Identify-Energizers-Creatives-Winners/dp/1250275814show notes: https://notunreasonable.com/?p=7478youtube link: https://youtu.be/mr2jrM0fkt0Twitter: @davecwrightSurprise, It's Insurance mailing listLinkedin Social Science of Insurance Essays
