The separation of fame and merit is a central dilemma Cowen considers in this exploration of the economics of fame. He shows how fame is produced, outlines the principles that govern who becomes famous and why, and discusses whether fame-seeking behavior harmonizes individual and social interests or corrupts social discourse and degrades culture.
