You mean big business is good, contributes to our general welfare, and is not generally guilty--with notable exceptions--of all of the charges made against it? That's the argument libertarian economist Tyler Cowen makes in his book Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero (St. Martins, 2019) Most NBN listeners will raise an eyebrow to that claim, but most of those same NBN listeners are up for a good back-and-forth on the virtues and demerits of our market system. And to that end, being familiar with Cowen's arguments--made in this book and his many other publications and platforms--is very useful. The shift in the reputational balance between government and big business as a result of the Covid-19 crisis is another reason to consider Cowen's argument. Daniel Peris is Senior Vice President at Federated Investors in Pittsburgh.

Why is Australia's economic growth grinding to a halt while the US is going gangbusters? Might it have something to do with cutting red tape and reducing taxes? This week your hosts Scott Hargreaves and Dr Chris Berg are joined by the IPA's Director of Research, Daniel Wild, and special guest Dr Patrick McLaughlin, Director of Policy Analytics at the Washington DC based Mercatus Center. They'll be tackling everything from a new tool being adopted by US and Canadian Governments to tackle Red Tape (RegData), the impact Trump has made on restraining the US bureaucracy, and whether artificial intelligence means robots will displace humans (1:54-43:16) as well as diving into culture picks including the new Steven Soderbergh film The Laundromat, Ian Mclean's Why Australia Prospered, Neal Stephenson's sci-fi classic The Diamond Age and Tyler Cowen's Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero.

People are upset at politicians, at Congress, somewhat at the church, the media, there’s a loss of faith in many institutions. There’s a sense that whatever is perceived as having power has to be taken down and I think big business is caught up in that... I thought I would just write down the things about big business that no one else was saying." It's sort of a contrarian book...

Pete and James give us their winners and losers from the Coalition's boilover election victory, discuss the wonderful state of Idaho that has removed its entire regulatory code and review the leaked email The Guardian sent to its writers urging them to ramp up the alarm on climate change (like, even more). We talk to economist Tyler Cowen of the world famous Marginal Revolution blog and author of new book, Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero, about the virtues of big business, why the free market is good for culture and how to convince young people to choose freedom (23:06 to 42:06). We then talk to IPA Director of Communications Evan Mulholland to review the predictions he made about the election at the start of the campaign (42:12 to 1:02:13).
Tyler Cowen joins us to discuss his new book; Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero. Throughout the conversation, Trevor and Aaron ask Tyler about crony capitalism, how Trump engages with big businesses, and the role of CEO’s. Cowen believes that big businesses are actually given a pretty unfair reputation as they create much more value than they are given credit for.Why is big business coming under heavier fire recently? How big is “big business”? Do CEO’s cheat more or less than others? Do you people like going to work and should they? How should big businesses interact with the federal government? How big is the finance world and is it too big? Why is a healthy financial sector important? If big business is good, why is it widely unliked?Further Reading:Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero, written by Tyler CowenConscious CapitalismBig Business Isn’t Big Politics, written by Tyler CowenMarginal RevolutionRelated Content:Why We’re Too Complacent, Free Thoughts PodcastHow Taxation Affects Income Inequality, Free Thoughts PodcastIs Capitalism Pro-Business?, Learn Liberty video with Steven Horwitz See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
