GOAT (2023) is Tyler Cowen's free, AI-native generative book asking who is the greatest economist of all time, and why it matters. Inspired by Bill Simmons' The Book of Basketball, Cowen weighs Milton Friedman, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Malthus, Adam Smith and others through their lives, letters and ideas before crowning a winner. Published online with Mercatus, the book comes with an AI that lets readers question and argue with the text.
