Tyler Cowen on who should get more status
Nick: You’ve often said that most political disputes are really disputes about who gets status. Nominate a few things or people to which we should give more status?
Tyler: Everyone. Everyone pretty much deserves more status (not Hitler, not mass murderers) but most things are underappreciated and they’re criticized and praise motivates people and helps them have a sense of fitting in and to go around and appreciate and express your appreciation for what you really value, that’s one of the best things you can do with your life.
