How does the book define "economic growth?" I can see where Cowen's crowd would happily prefer a dozen illiterate ditch-diggers versus one high school grad operating a backhoe if it got them authentic East Asian cuisine.
Just finished reading 'Stubborn Attachments', the great new book from @tylercowen. It's very short, clear, & important. Argues if our civilization takes a _much_ longer-term perspective, we'll value economic growth & liberty much more highly.
