In this episode, I talk with Daron Acemoglu about the rapid pace of technological change and its impact on democracy, institutions, politics, and society. Drawing on concepts from his book Power and Progress, we discuss ideas like the 'productivity bandwagon' and 'so-so automation,' along with technology’s dual potential to uplift the world from poverty and shape future prosperity. We also touch on the nuanced history of Industrial Revolution and how it could be related to the technological progress of today.
