A dedicated writer and communicator of economic ideas, Cowen is the author of several bestselling books and is widely published in academic journals and the popular media.

Cowen is host of Conversations with Tyler, a popular podcast series featuring today's most underrated thinkers in wide-ranging explorations of their work, the world, and everything in between.

In 2011, Bloomberg Businessweek profiled Cowen as "America's Hottest Economist" after his e-book, The Great Stagnation, appeared twice on the New York Times e-book bestseller list. Columnist David Brooks declared it "the most debated nonfiction book so far this year." Foreign Policy named Cowen as one of 2011's "Top 100 Global Thinkers," and an Economist survey counted him as one of the most influential economists of the last decade.
