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? \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTyler Cowen, in a culmination of 20 years of thinking and research, provides a roadmap for moving forward. In \u003ci\u003eStubborn Attachments: A Vision for a Society of Free, Prosperous, and Responsible Individuals\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003eStubborn Attachments\u003c\/i\u003e, at its heart, makes the contemporary moral case for economic growth, and delivers a great dose of inspiration and optimism about our future possibilities.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303853502837,"sku":"9781732265134","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781732265134_fdb54d99-6685-4476-b4b7-6441c503a2e1.jpg?v=1787039990"},{"product_id":"9781319544331","title":"Modern Principles of Economics","description":"\u003cp\u003eHelp your students see economics at work in the world around them with \u003cem\u003eModern Principles of Economics\u003c\/em\u003e.

Renowned economist Tyler Cowen and venture capitalist and entrepreneur Daniel Gross guide the reader through the major scientific research areas relevant for talent search, including how to conduct an interview, how much to weight intelligence, how to judge personality and match personality traits to jobs, how to evaluate talent in on-line interactions such as Zoom calls, why talented women are still undervalued and how to spot them, how to understand the special talents in people who have disabilities or supposed disabilities, and how to use delegated scouts to find talent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdentifying underrated, brilliant individuals is one of the simplest ways to give yourself an organizational edge, and this is the book that will show you how to do that.
