    “Randall Kroszner writes a very nice blurb for my new Markets and Cultural Voices: Liberty vs. Power in the Lives of Mexican Amate Painters:”

Reasoning

The University of Michigan Press catalogue lists the paperback of Markets and Cultural Voices as April 2005 and gives a 2005 copyright line (E1, E2). The November 2009 ebook is a later edition (E3). Cowen's April 2005 blog post calls it his "new" book (E4), which fits a 2005 first publication. 2005 is 14 years before 2019, inside the 2003–2006 range that the criteria count as true.
