Description

Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson is a compelling exploration of the complex relationship between technological innovation, economic growth, and political power. Drawing on more than a thousand years of history, the authors challenge the belief that technological progress automatically benefits society, demonstrating that the impact of innovation depends on how power and wealth are distributed. Through engaging historical examples and insightful analysis, the book examines how societies have either prospered or suffered depending on the institutions, policies, and leadership surrounding technological change. Daron Acemoglu, an internationally renowned economist and professor at MIT, and Simon Johnson, Nobel Prize-winning economist, former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and MIT professor, combine decades of research to explain how technology can either widen inequality or create shared prosperity. Power and Progress is an essential read for economists, policymakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, students, and anyone interested in artificial intelligence, innovation, economic history, public policy, and the future of work. Timely, thought-provoking, and deeply researched, this bestselling book offers valuable insights into ensuring that future technological advances benefit everyone rather than a privileged few.
