Atlantic Magazine (“Have Americans Given Up?”) has convinced me that the next book should be The Complacent Class: The Self-Defeating Quest for the American Dream by Tyler Cowen.
Readers: Maybe you all can order a copy too and then we can have a virtual book group discussion? We don’t want to be like those Middlebury students or New York Times journalists and complain about a book that we haven’t actually read!
Lending some support to the Atlantic summary of Cowen’s thesis, here are a couple of new products, one from a U.S.-founded company and one from a Korean company (exercise for the reader: guess the current gender identifications of the household members who purchased the respective items).

Oh, jeez. Tyler “Cheap Chalupas”/”Let Them Eat Beans” Cowen. This guy is a self admitted autist who churns out stupid anti-American worker propaganda for the corporatocracy.
But those twitches and blinks sometimes look like morse code.
