Keith RaboisThe Complacent Class by Tyler Cowen is a national bestseller that examines the state of American culture. Cowen argues that Americans have drifted away from their tradition of innovation and restlessness, choosing comfort over change. While this "matching culture" brings positives such as music we like and partners who make us happy, it also leads to significant downsides such as heightened inequality and decreased incentives to innovate. Cowen warns that this cannot go on forever, and unless Americans force themselves to embrace their restless tradition again, they will face a difficult future.
