by TylerCowen (Author)
Renowned behavioural economist and commentator Tyler Cowen shows that our supernetworked world is changing the way we think - and empowering us to thrive in any economic climate. Whether it is micro-blogging on Twitter or buying single songs at iTunes, we can now customise our lives to shape our own specific needs. In other words, we can create our own economy - and live smarter, happier, fuller lives. At a time when apocalyptic thinking has become all too common, Cowen offers a much needed information age manifesto that will resonate with readers of Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational , Steven Johnson's Everything Bad is Good for You , and everyone hungry to understand our potential to withstand, and even thrive, in any economic climate.
