Arthur Brooks on Reinvention, Religion, and the Science of Happiness

Hi everyone, this is Tyler, just letting you all know that I have a new book out. It is online and free. It is called The Marginal Revolution, Rise and Decline, and the pending AI Revolution. The last chapter focuses on how AI will change our world and change science for good. More generally it's a history of economics, my vision of where economics is headed and where it has been, and the book itself is attached to Claude as a kind of guide.

The book is fully written by me, but as you're reading, on the other side of the page you can ask Claude any question you want about the book, its materials, maybe where I went wrong, or to explain something you'd like to know more about. So please check that out. There's a link in the show notes, or also you can just go to TylerCowan.com. And now on to the show. Conversations with Tyler is produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, bridging the gap between academic ideas and real-world problems.
