Reviews
"Is it possible to develop a sociopolitical philosophy that is believable, robust to human error and biases, and sensitive to the tradeoffs demanded by competing values? Tyler Cowen sets himself nothing short of this very task in Stubborn Attachments. Most of Tyler s books will change how you see the world in myriad of small ways. Stubborn Attachments might well change how you see the world in one very big way. Integrating ideas from across the social sciences, Tyler argues that weshould regard the livelihoods of our future descendants including those distant descendants we ll never get to meet as highly as we regard our own. Our political choices should reflect this basic intertemporal egalitarianism. And economic growth, with its magnificent compounding benefits, thus deserves greater consideration as a high moral virtue. Whether you agree or disagree, I think you ll find that following thelogic in Stubborn Attachments is as fun as it is intellectually provocative." --Cardiff Garcia, cohost of the NPR podcast, The Indicator from Planet Money "Tyler Cowen is a national treasure, and Stubborn Attachmentsis brimming with deep insights about the immense importance of economicgrowth, moral obligations, rights, and how to think about the future.It's a book for right now, and a book for all times. A magnificentachievement." --Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University, and author of The Cost-Benefit Revolution "Stubborn Attachmentsis a deeply honest accounting of what matters, and the process by whichwe can determine what matters. Assumptions are laid bare from theoutset, counter-claims are provided. The book invites you to fight it." --Mason Hartman, webdevMason "Tyler Cowen is one of the most intriguing andeclectic thinkers on the planet--like many people, I read something byhim every day. In Stubborn Attachments he combines economics and philosophy in a truly important achievement. His best, most ambitious and most personal work." --Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist

Synopsis
From a bestselling author and economist, a contemporary moral case for economic growth--and a dose of inspiration and optimism about our future possibilities. Growth is good. Throughout history, economic growth in particular has alleviated human misery, improved human happiness and opportunity, and lengthened human lives. Wealthier societies are more stable, offer better living standards, produce better medicines, and ensure greater autonomy, greater fulfillment, and more sources of fun. If we want to continue our trend of growth--and the overwhelmingly positive outcomes for societies that come with it--every individual must become more concerned with the welfare of those around us. So how do we proceed? Tyler Cowen, in a culmination of 20 years of thinking and research, provides a roadmap for moving forward. In Stubborn Attachments: A Vision for a Society of Free, Prosperous, and Responsible Individuals , he argues that our reason and common sense can help free us of the faulty ideas that hold us back as people and as a society, allowing us to set our sights on the long-term struggles that maximize sustainable economic growth while respecting human rights. Stubborn Attachments , at its heart, makes the contemporary moral case for economic growth, and delivers a great dose of inspiration and optimism about our future possibilities.

    The item was spot-on, even better than the photos, and arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was highly professional, which is why the item came in superb, pristine condition. The seller was excellent with their communication, and I could not have been happier. I WILL buy from them again!

    Seller took over a week to actually ship the product and I’m not sure why, though I’m still inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, I dunno what their staffing situation is like. Regardless, product was exactly as described at a great price, and I have no other complaints.

    Apparently, the book shipment to the seller was being delayed at the distribution center. When I enquired about the delay, the seller promptly responded with the explanation, and offered a refund vs waiting for the book to be shipped. I elected to receive the refund, which was promptly accomplished. The seller is prompt, courteous, polite and attentive.
