Dlaczego to Europa Zachodnia wyznaczyła kierunek globalnej cywilizacji, a nie Chiny, Indie, Świat Islamu czy... Polska? Co sprawia, że jedne kraje dominują, a inne wciąż próbują „nadrobić zaległości”?Ten odcinek to trochę szukanie odpowiedzi na odwieczny pytanie czy mamy mieć kompleksy wobec Zachodu i dlaczego nie ;) I czy warto być jego częścią. Rozbieramy temat na czynniki pierwsze, zbieramy do kupy wnioski płynące z różnych książek, koncepcji, teorii i podlewamy to solidną porcją ciekawostek:- Jak bieda, zacofanie i słabość władzy wczesnego średniowiecza stworzyły jedyny w swoim rodzaju tygiel innowacji?- Dlaczego gęsta sieć kontaktów, współpracy i konkurencji dała więcej niż jakakolwiek armia?- Czym różni się centrum od peryferii – i dlaczego Polska jest „półperyferium”?- Co wspólnego miał angielski kłusownik z narodzinami państwa prawa?Czemu Niemcy w XIX w błyskawicznie przeskoczyli z pozycji największych "głupków i wsioków europy" na naukową potęgę?Zastanowimy się, czemu jedne centra cywilizacji szybko zmieniają się w kolosy na glinianych nogach, a inne kwitną stuleciami.

El Premio Nobel de Economía de este año fue otorgado a Robinson y Acemoglu, autores del libro "Por qué Fracasan las Naciones". Esta obra pretende explicar algo que sin duda a todos nos interesa saber a qué se debe que los que los países hispanos no logran despuntar económicamente después de varios siglos de intentarlo.

El Premio Nobel de Economía fue otorgado este año a Robinson y Acemoglu, autores de "Por qué Fracasan las Naciones". Esta obra, que busca explicar por qué Hispanoamérica sigue sin despegar económicamente, atribuye su subdesarrollo a la explotación indígena durante el colonialismo español. Sin embargo, este análisis reproduce la narrativa simplista de la Leyenda Negra.❌

This week the dialectic explores the Nobel Prize in Economics, awarded to Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson for their “contribution to Institutional Analyses” of long-run economic development.  We critically examine the claim that “settler colonialism” results in progress and development. Professors Wolff and Azhar discuss how the real economic history of colonized and indigenous peoples rebelled against the “whitewashing” in Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson's work.  The dialectic revisits the work and contributions of Paul Baran, including his analysis of the historical tendencies within capitalist development, and how it leads to under-development in the Global South.    About The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff. The show is dedicated to exploring Marxian theory. It utilizes the dialectical mode of reasoning, that is the method developed over the millennia by Plato and Aristotle, and continues to explore new dimensions of theory and praxis via a dialogue. The Marxist dialectic is a revolutionary dialectic that not only seeks to understand the world but rather to change it. In our discussions, the dialectic goes to work intending to solve the urgent life crises that we face as a global community.

Since Daron Acemoglu just won the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences alongside MIT Sloan professor Simon Johnson and University of Chicago professor James Robinson, we're revisiting  this powerful episode featuring Acemoglu's insights from 2023. In his groundbreaking book Power and Progress, Acemoglu exposes how the elite have weaponized technology to tighten their grip on wealth and influence, and explains how we can ensure that technological progress works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. This episode originally aired on August 22, 2023. Daron Acemoglu is the Institute Professor of Economics at MIT, the university's highest faculty honor, and a 2024 Nobel laureate. For the last twenty-five years, he has been researching the historical origins of prosperity, poverty, and the effects of new technologies on economic growth, employment, and inequality. He is an author (with James Robinson) of The Narrow Corridor and the New York Times bestseller Why Nations Fail.

Daron Acemoglu has been awarded the 2024 Nobel-prize for Economic Science. This is a great testament to his impressive career. But the award was given for his early work on global inequality, together with Johnson and Robinson. The Swedish Riksbank did not pay attention to his new work on inequality within rich countries. Should we? And is his new theory even consistent with the old? I got to ask this from Acemoglu during our 2023 interview. I thought this would be a good time to re-post his answer. In this highlight, we also discuss: The hidden tragedy behind growing wages Is automation the problem? Why we need a more "pro-human" direction of technology Lessons from (an imperfect) Germany Why fixing the economy starts from celebrating humanity If you want to enjoy the full show, head to episode 26 of this feed.

“There's nothing natural about 30-, 40-, 50- fold differences in income per capita in a globalised, connected world.” Daron Acemoglu, economic sciences laureate 2024, speaks about the root causes of persistent poverty among the poorest nations and how to build the types of inclusive institution that can support prosperity. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded shortly after the prize announcement, Acemoglu also highlights the importance of democracy and his fears regarding AI, and how its misuse could result in a two-tier society. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 2024 winners of the Nobel prize for Economics were announced this morning. One of the winners was the MIT economist Simon Johnson, who, as the co-author (with his MIT colleague Daron Acemoglu) of Power and Progress, appeared on KEEN ON just over a year ago to talk about technology & prosperity. Given that the prize was given to Johnson (and Acemoglu) for their work on explaining the gaps in prosperity between nations, we thought it worthwhile to rerun the interview from last year. Particularly since, if anything, the relationship between new technologies like AI and economic inequality is even more pertinent in 2024 than it was last year. SIMON JOHNSON is the Ronald A. Kurtz (1954) Professor of Entrepreneurship at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he is head of the Global Economics and Management group. In 2007-08 he was chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, and he currently co-chairs the CFA Institute Systemic Risk Council. In February 2021, Johnson joined the board of directors of Fannie Mae. Johnson's most recent book, with Daron Acemoglu, Power and Progress: Our 1000-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity, explores the history and economics of major technological transformations up to and including the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence. His previous book, with Jonathan Gruber, Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth and the American Dream, explained how to create millions of good new jobs around the U.S., through renewed public investment in research and development. This proposal attracted bipartisan support.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Il caso Stellantis che tiene banco dopo l'audizione di Carlos Tavares alla Camera di venerdì scorso, durante la quale il gruppo italo-francese ha chiesto all'Italia nuovi incentivi. Una richiesta che ha sollevato le reazioni della politica. E non solo. Intervenendo alla trasmissione "Amici e nemici", su Radio24, il segretario generale della Cgil Maurizio Landini ha ricordato che gli incentivi non hanno funzionato: a fronte di 950 milioni di euro già erogati, Stellantis ha aumentato la cassa integrazione e diminuito la produzione in Italia. Landini ha anche chiesto un intervento di Palazzo Ghigi. Ancor più diretto è stato il presidente di Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini: «La richiesta di Stellantis di ulteriori incentivi è una pazzia», ha detto il numero uno di Viale dell'Astronomia a margine della convention di Capri organizzata dai Giovani di Confindustria. Intanto oggi è tornato a parlare Carlos Tavares, Ceo di Stellantis, durante la prima giornata del Mondial de l'Auto, il Salone dell'auto di Parigi: "Altri hanno creato il caos e voi chiedete a me di risolvere la situazione e di garantire posti di lavoro. Non sono un mago, sono un essere umano come voi. Voi mi chiedete di risolvere problemi creati da altri, per risolvere quelle situazioni potrei dovere fare cose che non saranno accolte bene". Il Ceo ha risposto a chi chiedeva se fosse in grado di garantire che non saranno tagliati posti di lavoro all'interno del gruppo.Il commento di Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 Ore.Boing tra crisi e scioperi si avvicina al licenziamento di massa (e a una crisi di liquidità)Boeing, nella bufera di crisi e scioperi, vola verso licenziamenti di massa: nei prossimi mesi eliminerà 17.000 posti di lavoro, a tutti i livelli, pari al 10% dei suoi dipendenti. Accanto ai tagli, il colosso aerospaziale ha ammesso nuovi ritardi nel decollo del progetto di un nuovo, grande velivolo per le rotte internazionali, il 777X, che, avviato nel 2013, ha da tempo sfondato ogni budget e traguardo. Ora è slittato al 2026 dal 2025. Sarà inoltre cancellato dal 2027, in nome dell'austerity, uno dei modelli finora più noti della sua flotta: la versione cargo del 767.La società americana non fa profitti dal 2018 e secondo il New York Times a breve dovrebbe annunciare ricavi per 17,8 miliardi di dollari, con perdite di 10 dollari per azione. Il suo debito è salito a 58 miliardi, ossia nove in più di un decennio fa. Le decisioni sulla produzione, annunciate dal nuovo chief executive Kelly Ortberg, si tradurranno in oneri straordinari per 5 miliardi di dollari: tre miliardi per gli interventi sui programmi civili che si sommeranno a 2 miliardi di svalutazioni anche nel settore della Difesa, dove Boeing, uno dei principali fornitori del Pentagono, ha a sua volta incontrato difficoltà. A conti fatti, l'azienda ha avvertito che dovrà contabilizzare perdite trimestrali per 6 miliardi.Lo sciopero in atto da cinque settimane da parte di 30.000 tecnici e ingegneri del gruppo, con in gioco il contratto, si è aggiunto alle sfide. L'agitazione, secondo alcune stime, da sola costa al gruppo oltre un miliardo al mese. I negoziati sono nell'impasse: Boeing ha accusato il sindacato di malafede; le union hanno risposto che è Boeing a non trattare con trasparenza. «Il ceo Ortberg ha fatto sapere uno dei leader dello sciopero - ha l'opportunità di agire diversamente, invece di ricorrere a minacce e intimidazioni».È stato ospite a Focus Economia Alessandro Plateroti, nuovo Direttore di NewsMondo.it Il dibattito sul colonialismo torna attuale con il Nobel a Acemoglu, Johnson e Robinson Il premio Nobel per l economia 2024 va a Daren Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, entrambi del Mit di Boston, e James A. Robinson della University of Chicago per gli studi su come le istituzioni si formano e influenzano la prosperità. I tre economisti hanno dimostrato che una buona parte della differenza nella ricchezza e nello sviluppo degli stati dipende da come funzionano le istituzioni. Società con uno scarso stato di diritto e istituzioni fragili non riescono a generare crescita e cambiamento, e i loro studi sono in gran parte volti a capire perché questo avvenga. "Ridurre le enormi differenze di reddito tra i Paesi è una delle maggiori sfide del nostro tempo. I vincitori", ha detto Jakob Svensson, presidente del Comitato per il Premio di Scienze Economiche, "hanno dimostrato l importanza delle istituzioni sociali per raggiungere questo obiettivo».«Quando gli europei colonizzarono ampie zone del mondo, le istituzioni di quelle società cambiarono. Questo cambiamento è stato a volte drammatico, ma non si è verificato ovunque nello stesso modo. In alcuni luoghi l obiettivo era sfruttare la popolazione indigena ed estrarre risorse a vantaggio dei colonizzatori. In altri, i colonizzatori hanno creato sistemi politici ed economici inclusivi per il beneficio a lungo termine degli immigrati europei», si legge nella nota a dell Academy che spiega la ricerca dei tre economisti. «I vincitori hanno dimostrato che una spiegazione delle differenze di prosperità dei Paesi è data dalle istituzioni sociali introdotte durante la colonizzazione. Le istituzioni inclusive sono state spesso introdotte in Paesi che erano poveri al momento della colonizzazione e, nel tempo, hanno portato a una popolazione generalmente prospera. Questo è un motivo importante per cui le ex colonie un tempo ricche sono ora povere e viceversa.Il commento di Mario Deaglio, docente Economia Internazionale Università di Torino, al microfono di Sebastiano Barisoni.

Este lunes han sido reconocidos con el galardón por demostrar la importancia de las instituciones sociales en la prosperidad de un país

Scientists are exploring if AI can make Nobel-worthy discoveries. The "Nobel Turing Challenge" aims to create an AI capable of achieving this by 2050. Early "robot scientists" like "Adam" and "Eve" have made small breakthroughs, but AI needs significant advancements to rival human researchers. While AI tools like AlphaFold have revolutionized protein structure predictions, they still lack deep scientific understanding. Experts predict that within the next decade, research aided by AI could win a Nobel Prize.  MIT Economist Says AI Can Only Handle 5% of Jobs, Fears Stock Crash MIT economist Daron Acemoglu predicts that AI will replace or heavily assist just 5% of jobs in the next decade. He warns that current AI systems are unreliable, which could lead to wasted investments by companies. This unrestrained spending could result in a tech stock crash, or “AI winter.” Acemoglu compares the current hype to the early 2000s dot-com bubble. The Cognitive Disconnect Between Physicians and AI Recent research shows that GPT-4 outperforms physicians in diagnostic accuracy, yet doctors using GPT-4 see only minimal improvement. This disconnect stems from trust issues, lack of AI training, increased cognitive load, and differing diagnostic methods. Doctors often mistrust AI, struggle with optimal prompts, and find integrating AI suggestions cumbersome. Improving collaboration between AI and clinicians requires trust-building, better workflow integration, and training. Judge Blocks California's New AI Law in Case Over Kamala Harris Deepfake A federal judge temporarily blocked California's new AI law, AB 2839, shortly after it was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The law targets individuals who post AI deepfakes of political candidates that could confuse voters, potentially forcing them to take down the content. However, the judge ruled that AB 2839 is too broad and could infringe on constitutionally protected speech, such as satire and parody. Is Quantum Computing an Unlikely Answer to AI's Looming Energy Crisis? AI's growing energy consumption is a concern, with US data center electricity demand potentially doubling by 2030 due to AI. Quantum computing could offer a solution, as it is up to 100 times more energy-efficient than traditional supercomputers. Quantum processors use qubits, allowing them to solve complex problems faster. Companies like IonQ are developing quantum chips for AI, aiming to reduce energy requirements. While promising, solving AI's power challenge will likely need a multi-pronged approach, including expanding grid infrastructure and integrating renewable energy sources.

AI has been hailed as a transformative technology with McKinsey estimating it could add $26 trillion to the global economy. While many investors have already jumped on the AI bandwagon, not everyone agrees. Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor at MIT and author of books including Why Nations Fail, takes a critical look at AI and explains why the economic and social benefits may have been overstated. He joins John Lee of Bloomberg Intelligence and Katia Dmitrieva of Bloomberg News on the Asia Centric podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listening to the ongoing debate about artificial intelligence, one could be forgiven for assuming that the technology is either a bogeyman or a savior, with little ground in between. But that's not the stance of economist Daron Acemoglu, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author, with Simon Johnson, of the new book Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity. Combining a cogent historical analysis of past technological revolutions, he examines whether a groundbreaking new technology “augments” the status quo, as opposed to merely squeezing out human labor. “[M]y favorite term is ‘creating new tasks' because I think it really clarifies what the quote unquote augmenting needs to take the form of,” he tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast. “It's not just making a worker more productive in tightening the screws, but it's really creating new jobs that didn't exist.” And so, he explains to those perhaps afraid that a bot is gunning for their livelihood, “Automation is not our enemy. Excessive automation is our enemy.” This is not to depict Acemoglu as an apologist for our new silicon taskmasters. Current trends such as the consolidation of power among technology companies, a focus on shareholder returns at the expense of all else, a blind trust in companies to somehow muddle through to societal equilibrium, and a slavish drive to automate everything immediately all leave him cold: “I feel AI is going in the wrong direction and taking us down with it.” His conversation doesn't end there, thankfully, and he offers some hopeful words on how we might find that modus vivendi with AI, including (but by no means only relying on) “the soft hand of the state in tipping the scales one way or another.” Acemoglu is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the British Academy of Sciences, the Turkish Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Econometric Society, the European Economic Association, and the Society of Labor Economists. He is also a member of the academic-cum-policymaker group of economic movers and shakers known as the Group of 30. Besides Power and Progress, his books include the popular bestseller Why Nations Fail: Power, Prosperity, and Poverty written with James Robinson. Acemoglu has received a number of prizes, including two inaugural awards in 2004, the T. W. Shultz Prize from the University of Chicago and the Sherwin Rosen Award for outstanding contribution to labor economics. He received the John Bates Clark Medal in 2005, the Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in 2012, and the 2016 BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award, as well as the Distinguished Science Award from the Turkish Sciences Association in 2006 and a Carnegie Fellowship in 2017.

Neste episódio da quarta temporada do Metanoia Lab, patrocinado pela Oi Soluções, o Andrea (andreaiorio.com) analisa uma frase do Daren Acemoglu, economista turco-americano, professor no Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts e um dos economistas mais influentes de sua geração, que fala sobre a desinteligência artificial. O "paradoxo da produtividade" e o porque a IA pode não cumprir suas expectativas. Tudo isso comentado pelo Andrea Iorio nesse episódio do Metanoia Lab. 

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Contra Acemoglu on AI, published by Maxwell Tabarrok on June 29, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Simple Macroeconomics of AI is a 2024 working paper by Daron Acemoglu which models the economic growth effects of AI and predicts them to be small: About a .06% increase in TFP growth annually. This stands in contrast to many predictions which forecast immense impacts on economic growth from AI, including many from other academic economists. Why does Acemoglu come to such a different conclusion than his colleagues and who is right? First, Acemoglu divides up the ways AI could affect productivity into four channels: 1. AI enables further (extensive-margin) automation. Obvious examples of this type of automation include generative AI tools such as large language models taking over simple writing, translation and classification. 2. AI can generate new task complementarities, raising the productivity of labor in tasks it is performing. For example, AI could provide better information to workers, directly increasing their productivity. Alternatively, AI could automate some subtasks (such as providing readymade subroutines to computer programmers) and simultaneously enable humans to specialize in other subtasks, where their performance improves. 3. AI could induce deepening of automation - meaning improving performance, or reducing costs, in some previously capital-intensive tasks. Examples include IT security, automated control of inventories, and better automated quality control 4. AI can generate new labor-intensive products or tasks. Each of these four channels is referring to specific mechanism in his task-based model of production. Automation raises the threshold of tasks which are performed by capital instead of labor Complementarities raises labor productivity in non-automated tasks Deepening of automation raises capital productivity in already-automated tasks New tasks are extra production steps that only labor can perform in the economy, for example, the automation of computers leads to programming as a new task. The chief sin of this paper is dismissing the latter half of these mechanisms without good arguments or evidence. "Deepening automation" in Acemoglu's model means increasing the efficiency of tasks already performed by machines. This raises output but doesn't change the distribution of tasks assigned to humans vs machines. AI might deepen automation by creating new algorithms that improve Google's search results on a fixed compute budget or replacing expensive quality control machinery with vision-based machine learning, for example. This kind of productivity improvement can have huge growth effects. The second industrial revolution was mostly "deepening automation" growth. Electricity, machine tools, and Bessemer steel improved already automated processes, leading to the fastest rate of economic growth the US has ever seen. In addition, this deepening automation always increase wages in Acemoglu's model, in contrast to the possibility of negative wage effects from the extensive margin automation that he focuses on. So why does Acemoglu ignore this channel? I do not dwell on deepening of automation because the tasks impacted by (generative) AI are quite different than those automated by the previous wave of digital technologies, such as robotics, advanced manufacturing equipment and software systems. This single sentence is the only justification he gives for omitting capital productivity improvements from his analysis. A charitable interpretation of this argument acknowledges that he is only referring to "(generative) AI", like ChatGPT and Midjourney. These tools do seem more focused on augmenting human labor rather than doing what software can already do, but more efficiently. Though Acemoglu is happy to drop the "generative" qualifier everywhere ...

Bilingual AI Brain Implant Helps Stroke Survivor Communicate Scientists at UCSF have developed an AI-powered brain implant enabling a stroke survivor to communicate in both Spanish and English. The implant decodes brain activity into sentences, allowing the user to switch languages seamlessly, offering hope for more natural communication among bilingual individuals with paralysis.  Zuck Regains Cred Mark Zuckerberg has regained favor in Silicon Valley by promoting open-source artificial intelligence. Developers appreciate that Meta's AI system, released last summer, allows for free modification and reuse, contrasting with the closed models of Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft. This move aligns Zuckerberg with the hacker ethos and has earned him support from the tech community. AI Writes More Convincing Restaurant Reviews Than Humans A Yale study led by Balázs Kovács revealed that GPT-4 generates restaurant reviews more convincingly than humans. Participants misidentified AI reviews as human-written more often than not and expressed greater confidence in these misidentifications. This raises concerns about AI's potential to produce hyperrealistic fake content, affecting trust in various domains, including elections. AI Models Have Favorite Numbers AI models display surprising human-like biases in selecting random numbers. A study by Gramener showed that major AI chatbots, including OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo, Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku, and Google's Gemini, consistently prefer certain numbers and avoid others, mimicking human tendencies. This behavior highlights AI's reliance on past data rather than true randomness, underscoring the anthropomorphic traits AI can exhibit. MIT Professor Predicts AI Won't Boost GDP as Expected AI's impact on GDP and productivity may be overestimated, argues MIT professor Daron Acemoglu in a National Bureau of Economic Research paper. Skeptical of optimistic forecasts, Acemoglu estimates AI will only boost GDP growth by 0.93% to 1.16% over the next decade. Additionally, AI might not reduce inequality and could widen the income gap between capital owners and workers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aidaily/message

James Robinson is an economist and political scientist. He is currently the Reverend Dr. Richard L. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies and University Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago. Robinson has conducted influential research in the field of political and economic development and the factors that are the root causes of conflict. His work explores the underlying relationship between poverty and the institutions of a society and how institutions emerge out of political conflicts.Robinson has a particular interest in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. He is widely recognized as the co-author of Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty, with Daron Acemoglu, the Elizabeth and James Killian Professor of Economics at MIT. Translated into 32 languages since its publication in 2012, the book offers a unique historic exploration of why some countries have flourished economically while others have fallen into poverty. He has also written and coauthored numerous books and articles, including the acclaimed Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy (also with Acemoglu).

Machines allow us to do more work with less effort. They sound like an obviously good thing. But there is a tension here. New gadgets and new technologies - new simple “machines” - have been invented throughout history. But it looks like the living standard of the average person did not change for most of that time. So what happened to all the extra output from new technologies? And how is this relevant to our age of computers, robots, and AI?  To discuss these themes, I am joined by MIT professor Daron Acemoglu. Acemoglu is a true legend in his field. In 2015, he was ranked the single most cited economist of the past 10 years. And his most famous book, Why Nations Fail, (co-authored with James Robinson) is known by many students of economics as the only history book they ever had to read.  But today's conversation is not about Why Nations Fail. It is about Acemoglu's new book, Power and Progress: Our 1000-Year Struggle Over Technology (co-authored with Simon Johnson). In many ways, this is a typical Acemoglu book: it is a doorstopper that uses an array of historical lessons to draw messages for the present. And as before, it asks economists to take democratic politics more seriously. But in other ways, this is quite different from his previous books. For me, it felt much darker – especially in its portrayal of rich countries such as the US. But Acemoglu affirmed to me that he is still an optimist. He even tells me that the reason is related to the theme of this podcast series... I will let him tell you why. We discuss topics such as: Why have so many machines failed to benefit the common folk?  Why things changed for the better in the late 1800s - and why my past guests are wrong about the reasons? Have we started backsliding again?  Does this explain the political turmoil of today - especially in the US? Why Acemoglu is not against technological progress - but has a message to tech leaders  What has his work in economics taught Acemoglu about humanity? ____ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please consider becoming a supporter of On Humans.

Economist and author Daron Acemoglu of MIT discusses his book Power and Progress with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Acemoglu argues that the productivity and prosperity that results from innovation is not always shared widely across the population. He makes the case for the importance of regulating new technologies to ensure that the benefits of innovation are distributed equitably.

In this episode we welcome renowned academic and author, Daron Acemoglu, Institute professor and Economist at MIT.Drawing upon his rich experiences and his forthcoming book 'Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity,' Acemoglu navigates the complex landscape of technological progress. He sheds light on how technology can either sideline or empower humans, depending on how it's harnessed. With a focus on the potential for technological disparity and the importance of steering advancements towards inclusivity, Acemoglu's insights provoke thoughtful reflection.Whether you're a technologist, an economist, or simply someone intrigued by the future of our society, this episode with Daron Acemoglu will offer you fresh perspectives on the intersection of technology, economics, and power dynamics.

Chapter 1:Is Why Nations Fail Useful？ The book provides a comprehensive analysis of various historical case studies and presents a compelling framework to explain why some nations thrive while others struggle. It highlights the importance of inclusive institutions that promote property rights, equal opportunities, and the rule of law, as opposed to extractive institutions that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few. By examining the interplay between politics, economics, and history, "Why Nations Fail" offers valuable insights into the root causes of poverty, inequality, and underdevelopment. It challenges conventional wisdom and sheds light on how institutional arrangements shape a nation's trajectory. Furthermore, the book sparks important debates and discussions among scholars, policymakers, and those interested in development issues. Its accessible writing style makes it suitable for a wide audience, allowing readers to understand complex concepts and theories without prior expertise. Overall, "Why Nations Fail" is a valuable resource that can deepen our understanding of the dynamics behind national success or failure. It offers a framework for analyzing and addressing the challenges faced by different countries, providing insights that can inform policy decisions and efforts to promote inclusive growth and development. Chapter 2:Why Nations Fail Main Perspectives Institutional Perspective: According to Acemoglu and Robinson, successful nations have inclusive economic and political institutions, while failed nations have extractive institutions. Inclusive institutions are characterized by properties such as secure property rights, equal access to economic opportunities, impartial rule of law, and a level playing field for all individuals. These institutions encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment. Extractive institutions, on the other hand, concentrate power and resources in the hands of a few elites, leading to widespread corruption, political instability, and limited economic growth. Historical Perspective: The authors also emphasize the importance of historical events and path dependence in shaping a nation's institutions and its subsequent success or failure. Critical junctures, such as revolutions, wars, or major social changes, can alter the trajectory of a country. For example, nations that experienced inclusive institutions during these pivotal moments tend to continue on a path of development and prosperity, while those with extractive institutions may remain trapped in poverty and underdevelopment. Chapter 3:How Does Why Nations Fail End In the concluding chapters of the book, Acemoglu and Robinson argue that inclusive institutions are crucial for sustained economic growth and prosperity. They emphasize that nations with inclusive institutions, which provide a level playing field and allow for broad participation and opportunity, tend to be more successful in fostering innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship. On the other hand, the authors highlight the detrimental effects of extractive institutions, where power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or groups. Such institutions hinder economic progress, stifle innovation, and perpetuate poverty by limiting access to resources and opportunities for the majority of people. Acemoglu and Robinson present historical case studies from various countries to support their arguments. They explore how different types of institutions have shaped the destinies of nations throughout history, focusing on...

The idea that artificial intelligence would someday replace humans in certain jobs is nothing new. Now, as some companies make plans for this new reality, it's still an open question as to whether AI should be feared--or embraced as a technology that will make the world a better place. On this episode, Daron Acemoglu, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, tells Stephanie that while it may be right to be concerned, people shouldn't be scared. They discuss a new book co-authored by Acemoglu, Power and Progress, and whether AI will yield benefits similar to those conferred by other technological and scientific advancements throughout history. The key to making AI work in the long run, Acemoglu says, is that workers maintain a role and a voice through protections like unions and government regulation. Without those guardrails, he warned, AI may indeed sideline more humans from the workforce.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In his new book, "Power and Progress: Our 1000-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity", renowned MIT Professor of Economics Daron Acemoglu (with co-author Simon Johnson) argues that the benefits from technological progress are shaped by the distribution of power in society. In this episode, Acemoglu joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss the key challenges of ensuring that this progress benefits everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful. They discuss the rules, norms, and expectations around technology governance, the unintended consequences of AI development, and how the mismanagement of property rights, especially over data, can reinforce inequality and exploitation.Show Notes:In case you missed it, revisit our recent episode with David Autor, referenced in this discussionRevisit "Democracy and Economic Growth: New Evidence," co-authored by Daron Acemoglu, on ProMarket

Why Nations Fail Full Free Audio Book SummaryCome to Bookey Book Summary to unlock more content. Why are some nations wealthy and others poor? Why is it that vastly different institutions can emerge in two nations of similar backgrounds and origins, with a huge disparity in the respective quality of life of their citizens? Just what exactly determines a country's future? This book combs through the developmental history of human civilization and analyses the case studies of over twenty countries in great detail to show us why different countries have different institutions, and how good and bad institutions can influence a nation's destiny. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty. What is the greatest challenge facing mankind today? Every person has a different answer to this question. Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the bestselling sociology classic Guns, Germs and Steel, which we have unlocked for you in a previous bookey, believes that the problem of income disparity among various countries around the world can be considered the greatest challenge facing humanity today. The per capita income of Egypt is only 12% that of the United States – this is a shocking figure, and it is arguably one of the key factors for Egypt's political instability. However, this example is not even the largest disparity known to exist between countries. The gap between the per capita income of the United States and that of the poorest countries in the world is much larger – in those countries, even a full meal might be considered a luxury. What exactly causes this disparity? Why are some nations prosperous with a flourishing population, while others are impoverished with their people in deep suffering? Can poor countries ever change their destiny, or are they doomed to fail? Since the dawn of time, countless experts have tried to answer this question. The book Why Nations Fail provides us with a short answer: institutions. While this answer appears to be deceptively simple, it is full of complexities. It took the authors of this book fifteen years of dedicated research to arrive at this answer. Both authors are leading economists: Daron Acemoglu is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and recipient of the prestigious John Bates Clark Award, and James Robinson is a professor at Harvard University and world-renowned expert in Latin American and African studies. Over the course of fifteen years, these two experts pored over thousands of years of human history, and compared the developmental processes of over twenty countries. They came to the conclusion that differences in institutions are responsible for the different fates of various countries around the world. In this book, Acemoglu and Robinson analyze volumes of historical case studies to show us why different countries developed different institutions in the first place, how the earliest institutions came about, and how good and bad institutions can influence a nation's destiny.
