The smarter machines become the more it shapes how human beings have to change. One of the most compelling concepts in Average Is Over is “listening to the machine.” Tyler and I spoke about the skills that will be important in the coming years, when it makes sense to order the worst sounding thing on the menu, and why the ending of “Star Wars” may be at odds with the future. His latest book is Average Is Over which gives a fascinating look into where the country is headed, how income inequality, automation and artificial intelligence will change the way we work and live – and who will be the beneficiaries of those changes. Tyler is a New York Times bestselling author, having written 13 books including Discover Your Inner Economist and The Great Stagnation. He is a professor of economics at George Mason University and, along with Alex Tabarrok, he blogs at Marginal Revolution, one of the most popular economics sites on the internet. In 2011, Foreign Policy Magazine named Tyler Cowen #72 in their list of the “Top 100 Global Thinkers.”
