New Releases by Daron Acemoglu

Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson demuestran que el desarrollo técnico es indispensable para el avance de la democracia El progreso no es un destino predeterminado, sino que depende de las elecciones que hagamos sobre la tecnología. Esta reflexión resulta muy pertinente en un mundo donde los avances digitales y la robótica amenazan a nuestros empleos y a nuestras democracias a través de la automatización excesiva, la recopilación masiva de datos y la vigilancia intrusiva. Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson emprenden en este libro un impresionante recorrido por la historia y el futuro de la tecnología, desde la revolución agrícola del Neolítico al ascenso de la inteligencia artificial. Concluyen que el ser humano siempre puede permanecer en el asiento del conductor del desarrollo tecnológico, y decidir si sirve a los intereses de una élite o al bien común. Poder y progreso ofrece una nueva interpretación de la economía política de la innovación y desafía el derrotismo de quienes asumen que el desarrollo técnico trae inevitablemente una concentración del poder y la riqueza. Acemoglu y Johnson demuestran que estos avances pueden convertirse en una herramienta de empoderamiento y democratización. Este libro es un recordatorio esencial de que podemos y debemos recuperar el control de la tecnología y redirigir la innovación para que vuelva a beneficiar a la mayoría.

Cos''è davvero il progresso? Nel corso della storia dell''umanità, il cambiamento tecnologico – che si tratti dei miglioramenti agricoli nel Medioevo, della Rivoluzione industriale o dell''odierna intelligenza artificiale – è stato visto come il principale motore della prosperità, qualcosa da cui avremmo tratto solo vantaggi. La realtà, però, si è sempre rivelata più complessa. Nel XIX secolo, l''introduzione della sgranatrice aumentò enormemente la produttività della coltivazione di cotone e trasformò gli Stati Uniti nel suo primo esportatore mondiale, ma allo stesso modo intensificò la ferocia dello schiavismo e della segregazione razziale. A partire da esempi come questo e guardando alla contemporaneità, Daron Acemoglu e Simon Johnson sfatano il mito del tecnottimismo moderno. È vero: ce la passiamo enormemente meglio dei nostri antenati, ma gli ultimi mille anni hanno visto la diffusione di invenzioni che non hanno affatto portato al benessere collettivo e i risultati sono sotto i nostri occhi. Una visione nuova e più inclusiva della tecnologia potrà emergere solo se prendiamo coscienza del nostro potere sociale, lottando per fare in modo che le innovazioni siano al servizio di tutti. Acemoglu e Johnson scrivono un manifesto per una società migliore, insistendo sulla necessità di assicurarci che la tecnologia crei nuovi posti di lavoro e nuove opportunità, anziché emarginare la maggior parte delle persone, attraverso il lavoro automatizzato e la passività politica. Solo così potremo realizzare il vero potenziale del progresso, ripensando la teoria economica in modo rivoluzionario.

The bestselling co-author of Why Nations Fail and the bestselling co-author of 13 Bankers deliver a bold reinterpretation of economics and history that will fundamentally change how you see the world A thousand years of history and contemporary evidence make one thing clear: progress depends on the choices we make about technology. New ways of organizing production and communication can either serve the narrow interests of an elite or become the foundation for widespread prosperity. The wealth generated by technological improvements in agriculture during the European Middle Ages was captured by the nobility and used to build grand cathedrals, while peasants remained on the edge of starvation. The first hundred years of industrialization in England delivered stagnant incomes for working people. And throughout the world today, digital technologies and artificial intelligence undermine jobs and democracy through excessive automation, massive data collection, and intrusive surveillance. It doesn’t have to be this way. Power and Progress demonstrates the path of technology was once—and may again—be brought under control. Cutting-edge technological advances can become empowering and democratizing tools, but not if all major decisions remain in the hands of a few hubristic tech leaders. With their bold reinterpretation of economics and history, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson fundamentally change how we see the world, providing the vision needed to redirect innovation so it again benefits most people.

Throughout history, the advantages and costs of technological innovations have been unevenly distributed between the powerful and the rest of society, assert economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson in their new book, Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity. In a Q&A, they discuss what’s wrong with today’s approach to automation, why machine usefulness is more important than machine intelligence, and what techno-optimists and -pessimists both get wrong.

Ce manuel, écrit par des experts de la discipline, aborde l''économie dans une perspective pratique et engageante. L’adaptation française est centrée sur le programme des deux premières années de licence, tout en préservant la démarche originale des auteurs américains. L’ouvrage présente les principaux outils théoriques et empiriques de l’économiste et examine autant les questions microéconomiques que macroéconomiques. Articulant étroitement faits et théorie, chaque chapitre débute avec un cas pratique et une question ancrée dans le réel, parlant aux étudiants. L’analyse menée au cours du chapitre revient régulièrement sur l’intérêt des outils économique pour résoudre les questions posées par les faits. Il permet à l’étudiant d’analyser le monde qui l’entoure selon trois principes clés: • l’optimisation des choix des agents; • la notion d’équilibre; • la nécessaire validation empirique de la démarche théorique. Outre les concepts et mécanismes fondamentaux de l’économie comme les incitations, la main invisible, la théorie des jeux, la comptabilité nationale, le fonctionnement du marché du travail, les politiques contracycliques, etc., cet ouvrage offre des développements sur des sujets particulièrement actuels tels que: • l’économie du partage; • la montée croissante des inégalités, pourtant non mesurées par les principaux agrégats; • les outils d’analyse permettant de comprendre les prévisions à l’aune des dernières élections; • le principe de l’offre et de la demande avec l’impact des nouvelles techniques de forage sur les prix du pétrole et du gaz, etc.

Um livro que vai mudar a maneira como você vê e entende o mundo Nesse clássico moderno da economia e das ciências humanas, Daron Acemoglu e James A. Robinson investigam a história de civilizações separadas tanto pelo tempo quanto pela geografia para responder a uma questão que há séculos intriga os estudiosos: por que algumas nações são ricas e outras são pobres? Por meio de uma teoria de base universal, os autores afirmam que as estruturas sociais criadas pelo homem são o que sustenta o sucesso econômico — e o fracasso — das nações. Os países só escapam à pobreza quando dispõem de instituições adequadas, com a preservação do direito à propriedade privada e da livre concorrência. Acemoglu e Robinson defendem, ainda, a tese original de que a probabilidade de os países desenvolverem boas instituições é maior quando contam com um sistema político pluralista e aberto, com disputa de cargos, eleitorado amplo e espaço para a emergência de novos líderes. A partir desses argumentos, demonstram como algumas mudanças podem contribuir para instituições mais plurais, inovações progressistas e êxito econômico, enquanto outras, ao contrário, só estabelecerão mais instituições repressoras e extrativistas que levarão os países à decadência e à estagnação.

Inédito no Brasil, O corredor estreito estuda as condições necessárias para que os países vejam o nascimento da liberdade — ou sua extinção. Após o sucesso de Por que as nações fracassam, best-seller do The New York Times, os renomados economistas Daron Acemoglu e James A. Robinson fazem um levantamento das formas que a relação entre sociedade e Estado podem tomar a partir de uma base elementar: a liberdade — ou a ausência dela. No centro de sua teoria, explicam que a liberdade só é mantida por meio de um embate constante entre a população e quem a governa. Se um Estado forte é necessário para conter a violência, impor a ordem, fomentar a prosperidade econômica e oferecer meios para que a população possa seguir os caminhos que escolher, é igualmente importante uma sociedade forte e mobilizada para controlar e limitar os excessos do poder estatal. A liberdade é rara: no jogo de poder que a estabelece, a vontade individual encontra seu limite no outro, e os dois lados precisam ter forças equivalentes para que floresça. Há, porém, exemplos na história em que a tensão dá espaço ao diálogo, e o que antes era um campo de batalha se torna um corredor estreito que tanto a sociedade quanto o Estado podem trilhar em sua cooperação para pavimentá-lo. Em tempos de incertezas e instabilidade — em que o corredor estreito da liberdade corre o risco de se tornar um atalho para a ruína —, a genialidade de Acemoglu e Robinson constrói neste livro os caminhos pelos quais sociedade e Estado podem colaborar para o desenvolvimento mútuo.

For courses in the principles of macroeconomics. An evidence-basedapproach to economics Throughout Macroeconomics,3rd Edition, authors Daron Acemoglu, David Laibson, and John List usereal economic questions and data to help students learn about the world aroundthem. Taking a fresh approach, they use the themes of optimization,equilibrium, and empiricism to not only illustrate the power of simple economicideas, but also to explain and predict what’s happening in today’s society.Each chapter begins with an empirical question that is relevant to the life ofa student and is later answered using data in the Evidence-Based Economicsfeature.

A look at how new technologies can be put to use in the creation of a more just society. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not likely to make humans redundant. Nor will it create superintelligence anytime soon. But it will make huge advances in the next two decades, revolutionize medicine, entertainment, and transport, transform jobs and markets, and vastly increase the amount of information that governments and companies have about individuals. AI for Good leads off with economist and best-selling author Daron Acemoglu, who argues that there are reasons to be concerned about these developments. AI research today pays too much attention to the technological hurtles ahead without enough attention to its disruptive effects on the fabric of society: displacing workers while failing to create new opportunities for them and threatening to undermine democratic governance itself. But the direction of AI development is not preordained. Acemoglu argues for its potential to create shared prosperity and bolster democratic freedoms. But directing it to that task will take great effort: It will require new funding and regulation, new norms and priorities for developers themselves, and regulations over new technologies and their applications. At the intersection of technology and economic justice, this book will bring together experts--economists, legal scholars, policy makers, and developers--to debate these challenges and consider what steps tech companies can do take to ensure the advancement of AI does not further diminish economic prospects of the most vulnerable groups of population.

Vrijheid is niet vanzelfsprekend, vroeger niet, en nog steeds niet. Maar in deze tijd van destabilisering op vele terreinen hebben we vrijheid hard nodig. Niet ''alleen'' verlies van politieke vrijheid is wat dreigt, ook onze welvaart en veiligheid is in gevaar. Vrijheid is een delicaat evenwicht tussen staat en samenleving, tussen de economische, politieke en sociale elite en gewone burgers. Als de balans doorslaat komt de vrijheid in gevaar. Voor vrijheid zijn instellingen nodig die zich permanent vernieuwen om economische en sociale uitdagingen aan te kunnen. Vrijheid is sterk afhankelijk van een waakzame samenleving. Wankel evenwicht is een fascinerende zoektocht, over de hele wereld en door de eeuwen heen, naar wat vrijheid eigenlijk is. De pers over Waarom sommige landen rijk zijn en andere arm: ''Dit bijzonder toegankelijke boek biedt zowel specialisten als algemeen geïnteresseerden verrassend nieuwe inzichten.'' Francis Fukuyama ''Een fascinerend boek.'' Thomas Friedman ''Acemoglu en Robinson hebben een boeiend en zeer lezenswaardig boek geschreven.'' Niall Ferguson ''Verdient te worden gelezen door politici en economen, waar ook ter wereld.'' Het Financieele Dagblad

"«Chi si allontana dal gruppo è preda del falco» recita un proverbio del popolo ashanti: il mondo è crudele e i forti hanno sempre oppresso i deboli con la violenza. In assenza di un''autorità centrale l''unica protezione è rifugiarsi in una gabbia – spesso opprimente – di norme, tradizioni e alleanze tra clan. Viceversa, uno Stato forte può proteggere gli individui, ma rischia di mutarsi in un mostro, in una dittatura oppressiva. Per gran parte della storia umana, in ogni luogo e tempo, la libertà non è stata qualcosa di scontato e naturale, ma una conquista sofferta ottenuta solo imboccando una vera e propria strettoia. Questo corridoio virtuoso esiste quando i poteri dello Stato e della società sono in equilibrio: quando le istituzioni sono forti, in grado di fornire servizi e far rispettare le leggi; e quando, al tempo stesso, i cittadini hanno la capacità di tenere sotto controllo e chiamare in causa le autorità. La strettoia analizza il modo in cui le nazioni sono riuscite a bilanciare queste due forze in equilibrio precario. Ripercorre la via attraverso cui alcune sono entrate nel corridoio della libertà e altre ne sono rimaste fuori o ne sono dolorosamente uscite. Esplora la storia della democrazia in Grecia, della nascita degli Stati Uniti e di quella delle nazioni create da Maometto e Shaka a partire da terre e popoli divisi. Traccia le origini di un''Europa dai molteplici centri di potere e di una Cina dominata da un''autorità centrale, con i loro percorsi drammaticamente diversi. Indaga le radici del fallimento di molte rivoluzioni nel Medio Oriente e delle speranze per il futuro dell''Africa. Dopo il best seller Perché le nazioni falliscono, Acemoglu e Robinson aggiungono un nuovo tassello fondamentale al loro grande mosaico che ritrae la storia delle società umane. E ci ricordano, oggi più che mai, che la libertà non è dovuta, ma è una vittoria che dipende da un fragile equilibrio di forze, in bilico tra il caos e l''oppressione."

Bazată pe cincisprezece ani de cercetare, cartea abordează, printr-o lectură plăcută și accesibilă, o temă crucială din economia politică actuală: diferența enormă de venit și de standard de viață dintre țările bogate și cele sărace ale lumii. Acemoglu şi Robinson demonstrează că ţările ies din sărăcie numai când au instituţii economice adecvate, când au un sistem politic pluralist deschis, în care există concurenţă pentru funcţiile politice şi deschidere către noi lideri politici. Aducând argumente din economie, politică și istorie, autorii oferă o modalitate nouă, puternică şi convingătoare de înţelegere a bogăţiei şi a sărăciei. Acemoglu şi Robinson – doi dintre cei mai importanţi experţi din lume în domeniul dezvoltării – ne arată că nu geografia, bolile sau cultura, ci chestiunea instituţiilor şi a politicii explică, mai degrabă, de ce unele naţiuni sunt bogate şi altele sărace. Această carte extrem de accesibilă oferă o perspectivă pătrunzătoare binevenită atât pentru specialişti, cât şi pentru publicul larg. Francis Fukuyama

La libertad no es el orden natural de la humanidad. En la mayoría de lugares y de épocas, los fuertes han dominado a los débiles y la libertad ha sido aplastada por la fuerza o por las costumbres y las normas. A menudo los Estados no han tenido la suficiente capacidad para proteger a los individuos o, por el contrario, han sido tan fuertes que la gente no ha podido defenderse de su despotismo. La libertad sólo surge cuando se logra un equilibrio delicado y frágil entre el Estado y la sociedad. El pasillo que lleva a la libertad es estrecho y sólo puede recorrerse si se produce una lucha constante entre el Estado y la sociedad. Pero, ¿en qué consiste esa lucha? En un recorrido fascinante que nos lleva del mundo árabe en tiempos de Mahoma a las ciudades-Estado de la Italia medieval, de la Latinoamérica de las dictaduras a la Suecia que inventó la socialdemocracia, de la caótica República de Weimar a la China imperial, El pasillo estrecho nos introduce en el que tal vez sea el proceso más fascinante de la historia: el de la obtención de la libertad. Una libertad que solo puede existir cuando la sociedad cuestiona el poder del Estado y de las élites, pero también cuando, al mismo tiempo, existe un Estado robusto capaz de defender nuestros derechos cuando estos se ven amenazados. ¿Por qué algunas sociedades han conquistado la libertad y otras se ven sometidas a tiranías o regímenes incompetentes?

Von den Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträgern 2024 Wie viel Staat muss sein? Nach dem internationalen Bestseller »Warum Nationen scheitern?« widmen sich Starökonom Daron Acemoglu und Harvard-Politologe James A. Robinson in ihrem neuen Buch dieser fundamentalen Frage. Auseinandersetzungen zwischen rivalisierenden Milizen in Libyen, Einschränkung der Presse- und Demonstrationsfreiheit in der Türkei, Umerziehungslager in Nordkorea. Gegenwärtig erleben wir viele Staaten als problematisch: sie sind entweder gescheitert, überreguliert oder despotisch. Aber wie viel Staat ist denn eigentlich notwendig? Die Autoren geben hierauf eine überraschende und provokante Antwort. Anhand zahlreicher historischer und aktueller Beispiele – vom antiken Griechenland über Deutschland im Nationalsozialismus bis zum heutigen China – zeigen sie: Wohlstand, Sicherheit und Freiheit sind in hohem Maße von dem richtigen Rahmen abhängig, in dem der ewige Kampf um Macht zwischen Staat und Gesellschaft ausgetragen wird. Eine überzeugende Analyse, die demonstriert: Ein starker Staat und eine starke Gesellschaft sind kein Widerspruch, sondern bedingen sich gegenseitig.

From the winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize for Economics and the authors of the international bestseller Why Nations Fail "Why is it so difficult to develop and sustain liberal democracy? The best recent work on this subject comes from a remarkable pair of scholars, Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. In their latest book, The Narrow Corridor, they have answered this question with great insight." —Fareed Zakaria, The Washington Post In Why Nations Fail, Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson argued that countries rise and fall based not on culture, geography, or chance, but on the power of their institutions. In their new book, they build a new theory about liberty and how to achieve it, drawing a wealth of evidence from both current affairs and disparate threads of world history. Liberty is hardly the "natural" order of things. In most places and at most times, the strong have dominated the weak and human freedom has been quashed by force or by customs and norms. Either states have been too weak to protect individuals from these threats, or states have been too strong for people to protect themselves from despotism. Liberty emerges only when a delicate and precarious balance is struck between state and society. There is a Western myth that political liberty is a durable construct, arrived at by a process of "enlightenment." This static view is a fantasy, the authors argue. In reality, the corridor to liberty is narrow and stays open only via a fundamental and incessant struggle between state and society: The authors look to the American Civil Rights Movement, Europe’s early and recent history, the Zapotec civilization circa 500 BCE, and Lagos’s efforts to uproot corruption and institute government accountability to illustrate what it takes to get and stay in the corridor. But they also examine Chinese imperial history, colonialism in the Pacific, India’s caste system, Saudi Arabia’s suffocating cage of norms, and the “Paper Leviathan” of many Latin American and African nations to show how countries can drift away from it, and explain the feedback loops that make liberty harder to achieve. Today we are in the midst of a time of wrenching destabilization. We need liberty more than ever, and yet the corridor to liberty is becoming narrower and more treacherous. The danger on the horizon is not "just" the loss of our political freedom, however grim that is in itself; it is also the disintegration of the prosperity and safety that critically depend on liberty. The opposite of the corridor of liberty is the road to ruin.

Daron Acemoglu és James A. Robinson nagyon egyszerű, de annál fontosabb alapkérdéseket feszegetnek: Miért gazdag az egyik ország, és miért szegény a másik? Mivel magyarázható a nemzetek eltérő fejlődése: kulturális különbségekkel, vagy a földrajzi, éghajlati adottságokkal Világsikerű könyvükben új megvilágításba helyezik eddigi elképzeléseinket a világ egyenlőtlen fejlődéséről. Tizenöt éves közös kutatásuk alapján arra a következtetésre jutottak, hogy a nemzetek társadalmi-gazdasági jóléte vagy elszegényedése elsősorban az intézményi, hatalmi struktúrától függ. Számos történelmi példát vonultatnak fel, a Római Birodalomtól kezdve a maja városállamokon, a középkori Velencén, a Szovjetunión, Latin-Amerikán, Anglián, Európán és az Egyesült Államokon át egészen Afrikáig, hogy igazolják új politikai gazdaságtani elméletüket. A történelmet, a politikatudományt és a közgazdaságtant remekül ötvöző, magával ragadó mű mindannyiunk számára tanulságokkal szolgál a fejlődés kérdéseiről.

En este libro, pensado para un primer curso de economía, Daron Acemoglu, David Laibson y John List utilizan problemas económicos y datos reales para ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender sobre el mundo que los rodea. Adoptando una perspectiva fresca y novedosa, los autores nos muestran la enorme capacidad de las ideas económicas básicas para explicar, predecir y mejorar lo que ocurre en el mundo. Cada capítulo se abre planteando una pregunta a los estudiantes, que es contestada mediante datos reales en el apartado “Economía basada en la evidencia”, que cierra cada unidad. Como resultado del énfasis que hace el texto en los aspectos prácticos de la disciplina, los estudiantes aprenden a ver los principios económicos más allá del contexto del aula, e incluso a aplicarlos a las decisiones que deben tomar en su día a día. Economía es un libro profusamente ilustrado, con un planteamiento didáctico, ameno y riguroso, conectado con el mundo actual. “Nos encanta la economía. Nos maravilla cómo funcionan los sistemas económicos. Cuando compramos un smartphone, pensamos en los cientos de miles de personas que intervinieron en la producción de esa increíble pieza de tecnología, ensamblada a partir de componentes de todo el mundo. Escribimos este libro para mostrar la simplicidad de las ideas económicas y su extraordinaria capacidad para explicar, predecir y mejorar lo que pasa en el mundo. Queremos que los estudiantes dominen los principios esenciales del análisis económico. Con ese propósito, identificamos las tres ideas clave para comprender el comportamiento humano desde una perspectiva económica: la optimización, el equilibrio y el empirismo. Estos conceptos abstractos son, en realidad, muy intuitivos.” (Acemoglu, Laibson y List, Prefacio de Economía)
