"[The Complacent Class] provides an open invitation for the reader to think deeply." --Derek Thompson, The Atlantic "'The Complacent Class' is refreshingly nonideological, filled with observations that will resonate with conservatives, liberals and libertarians. ... a useful corrective to the conventional wisdom that American ingenuity, sooner or later, will revive a low-growth economy." --The Wall Street Journal "One of the most important reads of the new year." --National Review Tyler Cowen's blog, Marginal Revolution, is the first thing I read every morning. And his brilliant new book, The Complacent Class, has been on my nightstand after I devoured it in one sitting. I am at round-the-clock Cowen saturation right now.--Malcolm Gladwell Tyler Cowen is an international treasure. Endlessly inventive and uniquely wide-ranging, he has produced a novel account of what ails us: undue complacency. No one but Cowen would ask, 'Why Americans stopped rioting and instead legalized marijuana.' He admires risk-taking, and he likes restlessness, and he thinks the United States needs lots more of both. Don't be complacent: Read this book!--Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, and author of #Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media A book that will undoubtedly stir discussion--Kirkus Praise for The Great Stagnation: Cowen's book... will have a profound impact on the way people think about the last thirty years.--Ryan Avent, Economist.com Tyler Cowen may very well turn out to be this decade's Thomas Friedman.--Kelly Evans, The Wall Street Journal
