Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero

The New York Times–bestselling economist "mounts a compelling defense of big business, finance, and the tech industry" in this timely book (Walter Frick, Harvard Business Review).

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. Across the board, it seems that belief in big business is at an all-time low. But are big companies inherently evil? 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, illuminating 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.
