Take Dwight Garner’s review at the New York Times: He seemingly was unable to detect the humor and light approach that Tyler Cowen wrote into the book - with normal exaggerations like ‘a million results on Google,’ and stretching Calvin Trillin’s quote “Le Maison de la Casa House” to “Le Maison de la Casa Haus,” to include a flair of German. It’s this broad array of topics that seems to confuse his readers - many reviews seem to be coming from his other books, most of which have widely different approaches, tones, and perspectives. Tyler Cowen is a renaissance man - an established economist, a respected blogger and commentator, an agile academic, a controversial contrarian, a keen writer, a rigorous participant in arts and culture, and interestingly enough, a renowned foodie. ![]()
