Description
Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity
A bold new interpretation of why technology benefits the elites and how we must reshape the path of innovation to create true shared prosperity. For a thousand years, progress has not been automatic, but has depended on the choices we make. From the Middle Ages to the present day, digital technologies and artificial intelligence have increased inequality and undermined democracy.
Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson, the Nobel Prize-winning authors, provide a breakthrough economic theory and a manifesto for a better society. They argue that the path of technology can be brought under control, and that with the right vision, we can create real prosperity for all.
