Although this is a book of mostly economics by an economist, it's really a long essay on moral philosophy, and Tyler Cowen is probably best thought of as a philosopher who specialises in economics. One of the advantages of that approach is that rather than spending all his time talking about policy, Cowen argues for a philosophy of ethics that is, to some extent, policy neutral. Once you accept his conclusion, you can then start talking about how to implement it.
