Doklady z tisícileté historie lidstva i ze současnosti ukazují, že pokrok závisí na rozhodnutích ohledně způsobu využívání nových technologií. Autoři popisují, že tato rozhodnutí příliš často přinesla pohádkové zisky elitám, ale pro řadové členy společnosti znamenala spíš více práce, a pokud vůbec došlo ke zlepšení jejich materiálních podmínek, bylo zcela nedostatečné a neúměrné. Tento proces lze doložit na proměně zemědělství ve středověku, na evropské průmyslové revoluci či zavádění digitálních technologií v současnosti, které ruší pracovní místa a skrze masové shromažďování dat a sledování podkopávají demokracii. Acemoglu s Johnsonem nabízejí nový pohled na svět a jeho dějiny, ale i vizi, jak dát inovacím nový směr, tak aby z nich měla prospěch většina.

Почему одни страны богатые, а другие бедные — это нехудожественная книга, написанная турецко-американским экономистом Дароном Аджемоглу и Джеймсом Робинсоном. Книга обсуждает теории институциональной экономики, экономики развития и экономической истории, чтобы ответить на вопрос, почему страны развиваются по-разному, где одни достигают силы и процветания, в то время как другие терпят неудачу. Человеческие институты, а не географическое или историческое положение, определяют, станет ли страна богатой или бедной. Институциональные изменения, открытость общества и готовность к креативному разрушению и верховенству закона способствуют экономическому развитию. Страны могут избежать бедности только при наличии эффективных экономических институтов и плюралистической политической системы.

Fortschritt – Eine 1000-jährige Illusion beleuchtet den technologischen Wandel als vermeintlichen Hauptmotor für das Gemeinwohl, von der verbesserten Landwirtschaft im Mittelalter über die industrielle Revolution bis hin zur heutigen künstlichen Intelligenz. Doch die Gewinne des Fortschritts kommen oft nur einer kleinen Elite zugute, während die Technologie die Interessen der Mächtigen widerspiegelt und ihnen zu mehr Reichtum und Einfluss verhilft. Die MIT-Professoren Daron Acemoglu und Simon Johnson hinterfragen das gängige Verständnis von technologischem Fortschritt und zeigen, dass Volkswirtschaften anders funktionieren, als allgemein angenommen. Sie identifizieren die Gewinner und Verlierer des Fortschritts und bieten eine grundlegende Neubewertung unserer Weltanschauung. Die Autoren erörtern, wie echter Fortschritt und gerechtere Innovationen erreicht werden können. Ihre Analyse kombiniert historische Perspektiven mit konkreten Ideen zur Verbesserung der Zukunft. Das Buch wird als notwendiges Gegenmittel gegen die Rhetorik der technologischen Unvermeidbarkeit angesehen und gilt als Pflichtlektüre für alle, die sich für das Schicksal der Demokratie im digitalen Zeitalter interessieren. Leser werden ermutigt, über ihren Lebensstil nachzudenken und informierte Entscheidungen zu treffen.
