About this episode

Tyler Cowen explores the relationship between music and patriotism through a diverse playlist in honor of America's 250th anniversary.

To honor the 250th anniversary of America, Tyler Cowen plays Rick patriotic music from the United States and around the world in this special listening episode. In addition to his work as an economist, professor, and bestselling author, Tyler Cowen is a longtime music enthusiast with an expansive repertoire in classical and choral music, rock n’ roll, and world music.  Moving from John Philip Sousa’s vision of classic patriotism and Country Joe and the Fish’s antiwar satire to the Andrews Sisters, Franz Liszt, Béla Bartók, Antonín Dvořák, and the Sex Pistols, Cowen explores how music can express, question, and reimagine what it means to love one’s country.
