Just as The Great Stagnation was Cowen’s response to all the fashionable thinking about the economic crisis, An Economist Gets Lunch is his response to all the fashionable thinking about food.

Tyler Cowen joins Freakanomics Radio to examine how American food got so bad, how it’s begun to get much better in recent years, and who has the answers for further improvement.
