Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, Tyler Cowen! May your celebrations be as efficient and insightful as a Marginal Revolution blog post. Your economic wisdom has enlightened countless minds—though we're still debating whether the optimal number of birthday candles follows diminishing returns.

From serving brilliantly as the Holbert C. Harris Chair at George Mason University to co-authoring one of economics' most beloved blogs, you've shown us that life's greatest pleasures lie in marginal improvements (and perhaps an occasional spicy food adventure). Here's hoping this year brings you even more fascinating conversations, intriguing meals, and endless opportunities for witty commentary!

Cheers to another revolutionary trip around the sun!
