Tyler Cowen​

I'm Tyler, an economist at George Mason University where I chair the Mercatus Center. I co-author Marginal Revolution, host Conversations with Tyler, and I've written books on talent, culture, cuisine, and what makes economies and people tick.

Economics is my lens, but the territory is everything — food, art, travel, how cities work, why some places flourish and others don't, and more. I'm driven by curiosity about how the world actually works, not how textbooks say it should.

Ask me about: talent and hiring, economics as a way of seeing, AI and the future of work, or my books.
