Writings
Culture
TheLos Angeles Timeshas described Cowen as "a man who can talk about Haitian voodoo flags, Iranian cinema, Hong Kong cuisine, Abstract Expressionism, Zairian music and Mexican folk art with seemingly equal facility". One of Cowen's primary research interests is the economics of culture. He has written books on fame (What Price Fame?), art (In Praise of Commercial Culture), and cultural trade (Creative Destruction: How Globalization is Changing the World's Cultures). InMarkets and Cultural Voices, he relays how globalization is changing the world of three Mexican amate painters. Cowen argues that free markets change culture for the better, allowing them to evolve into something more people want. Other books includePublic Goods and Market Failures,The Theory of Market Failure,Explorations in the New Monetary Economics,Risk and Business Cycles,Economic WelfareiNew Theories of Market Failure.
Recent books
Cowen followed the controversial success of his 2011 work,The Great StagnationwithAn Economist Gets Lunch: New Rules for Everyday Foodies"taking on food with equally provocative ideas."The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All The Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History, Got Sick, and Will (Eventually) Feel Betteris a short, 15,000-word take on the United States' recent economic trajectory and was released only in electronic format in January 2011.Create Your Own Economy: The Path to Prosperity in a Disordered Worldwas released in July 2009 (and rereleased in 2010 with the new titleThe Age of the Infovore: Succeeding in the Information Economy) and received favorable reviews from critics including Matthew Yglesias and Tim Harford.New York Timescolumns
Cowen'sNew York Timescolumns cover a wide range of issues, including the 2008 financial crisis, "Too Few Regulations? No, Just Ineffective Ones".
Dining guide
His dining guide for the D.C. area, "Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide", was reprinted in the Food section of theWashington Post.
Political philosophy
Cowen has written papers in political philosophy and ethics: for example, he co-wrote a paper with the philosopher Derek Parfit, arguing against the social discount rate. A recent paper has argued that the epistemic problem fails to refute consequentialist forms of argument. Cowen has been described as a "libertarian bargainer", someone of moderate libertarian ideals who can influence practical policy making. In a 2007 article entitled "The Paradox of Libertarianism," Cowen argued that libertarians "should embrace a world with growing wealth, growing positive liberty, and yes, growing government. We donât have to favor the growth in government per se, but we do need to recognize that sometimes it is a package deal". His argument was subsequently criticized by Bryan Caplan,Justin Raimondo, Christopher Westley, and Doug MacKenzie. Cowen endorsed bailouts in a March 2, 2009 column in theNew York Times. He was a supporter of the Iraq War.
In 2012, David Brooks called Cowen one of the most influential bloggers on the right, writing that he is among those who "start from broadly libertarian premises but do not apply them in a doctrinaire way."
