Tyler Cowen on the Great Stagnation

Tyler Cowan describes how America is no longer the innovative society it was. Watch this. You'll be surprised when America was at its most innovative. He also proposes one way to increase the innovativeness in our nation.

David Brooks with a really informative and inspiring talk on what people really are
