An against-the-grain polemic on American capitalism from New York Times
bestselling author Tyler Cowen.
We love to hate the 800-pound gorilla. Walmart and Amazon destroy
communities and small businesses. Facebook turns us into addicts while
putting our personal data at risk. From skeptical politicians like
Bernie Sanders who, at a 2016 presidential campaign rally said, "If a
bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist," to millennials, only
42 percent of whom support capitalism, belief in big business is at an
all-time low. But are big companies inherently evil? If business is so
bad, why does it remain so integral to the basic functioning of
America? Economist and bestselling author Tyler Cowen says our biggest
problem is that we don't love business enough.
In Big Business, Cowen puts forth an impassioned defense of
corporations and their essential role in a balanced, productive, and
progressive society. He dismantles common misconceptions and untangles
conflicting intuitions. According to a 2016 Gallup survey, only 12
percent of Americans trust big business "quite a lot," and only 6
percent trust it "a great deal." Yet Americans as a group are
remarkably willing to trust businesses, whether in the form of buying a
new phone on the day of its release or simply showing up to work in the
expectation they will be paid. Cowen illuminates the crucial role
businesses play in spurring innovation, rewarding talent and hard work,
and creating the bounty on which we've all come to depend.
