Listen ""The Narrow Corridor": Professor Daron Acemoglu"
Episode Synopsis
Professor Daron Acemoglu discusses his new book, arguing that liberty and prosperity require strong states and strong societies.
Alice asks where do strong societies come from? What explains the global heterogeneity in social capital, as well as labour coercion? Can his theory accommodate East Asia? And whether the state-society binary is really the best way to understand threats to liberty today?
Professor Acemoglu is incredibly impressive. I do hope you enjoy this episode.
