Whatever you do, do not waste two hours watching one movie from beginning to end, but go the multiplex and jump from one to the other playing at the same time to have notched three flicks on your belt of cultural currency. Don’t spend the time to read a whole book, but follow only one character, skip around, and quickly get to the last chapter. Why traipse through a whole museum to see so many paintings?

According to Hugo Lindgren’s review in New York Magazine of Cowen’s next book (available on August 2) Cowen poses better approaches for audiences of culture. How does a master polymath do it all? Why, he apparently has systems for absorbing as much culture as possible with the least expenditure of time. Art opinions and recommendations are a constant presence in his work, and his time. In fact, culture is high on Cowen’s list of loves, interests, and experience. Through his blog, his academic web page, and his books, Cowen covers an incredibly wide range of opportunities for applying economic theory to everything from the practice of scheduling doctor’s visits, eating strategies, the social value of Microsoft, to a new look at arts funding.
