What Happened to Liberal Democracy?
'A very important work and a must-read' THOMAS PIKETTY, author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century'A thoughtful proposed solution to the most important question of modern democracy' JARED DIAMOND, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel'Brilliant and insightful, a tour de force that left me feeling more optimistic about the future than I have in a long time' STEVEN LEVITT, author of FreakonomicsFrom its inception, liberalism offered a glittering promise of shared prosperity, equality, democratic values and the free pursuit of knowledge. At first, it flourished. And then it faltered. Once a tantalising beacon of hope, it began to erode and decay at the hands of elitism, intolerance and rising autocracy. One could say that liberalism is broken. So what comes next? Nobel prize-winning co-author of Why Nations Fail Daron Acemoglu charts the rise and fall of liberal democracy, and offers hope for a way forward: a new theory that lays the groundwork for how we can - and must - remake liberalism before it's too late.

Das liberale Versprechen
Sind die liberalen Demokratien am Ende? In seinem neuen Buch erzählt der Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger Daron Acemoglu vom Aufstieg und Fall des Liberalismus. Und er zeigt, wie wir ihn retten können. Die westlichen Demokratien stecken in der Krise, denn die Versprechen des Liberalismus - Freiheit, Chancengleichheit und Wohlstand für alle - wurden nicht eingelöst. Stattdessen vergrößert heute eine liberale Elite, die ihre eigenen Werte verraten und ihre Verwurzelung in der Arbeiterbewegung aufgegeben hat, die soziale Ungleichheit und fördert so politischen Frust. Wie bereits in seinem Standardwerk 'Warum Nationen scheitern' (2013) analysiert Bestseller-Autor Acemoglu die historischen und gesellschaftlichen Hintergründe und schlägt einen Auswegvor: einen neuen Liberalismus, der auf Freiheit, Wirtschaftswachstum und Gemeinschaft setzt.

What Happened to Liberal Democracy?
From Daron Acemoglu, 2024 Nobel laureate in economics and coauthor of Why Nations Fail, an ambitious and expansive inquiry into the biggest story in global politics over the last hundred years: the rise and fall of liberal democracy."A very important work and a must-read." —Thomas Piketty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century"Daron Acemoglu is one of the most brilliant and insightful thinkers I’ve ever known. His particular genius is being able to look at impossibly complex problems and see right to the heart of what matters. This book is a tour de force that left me feeling more optimistic about the future than I have in a long time." —Steven Levitt, #1 New York Times bestselling author of FreakonomicsThe dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 raised hopes that we were one step closer to the triumph of liberalism. Soon, many predicted, we would all be living in functional liberal democracies. Sustained economic growth would benefit all segments of society and war would be a relic of the past. A generation later, one can only ask: What happened?Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu argues in this powerful book that liberal democracy flourished when it pursued its core promises of shared prosperity, democratic governance, and the free pursuit of knowledge. But liberalism, a philosophy built to challenge power, never fully adjusted to becoming the establishment. Nor was it able to deal with the economic and social disruptions that digital technologies wrought. Worse, in the postindustrial economy, liberalism turned its back on its core promises. As a segment of college-educated elites became politically dominant and separated from the rest of society, they sowed the seeds of widespread inequality while intensifying efforts to reshape mass culture and values. Acemoglu, using the wide interdisciplinary lens that has won him acclaim, documents the extraordinary, unparalleled progress that liberalism created, and recounts how liberal democratic institutions plunged themselves into crisis over the last several decades. Looking at rapid advances in technology, shifts in regulatory environments, global political history, and economics, Acemoglu lucidly lays out the successes and failures of our most important political system. And he envisions a new way forward, which he calls working-class liberalism: a philosophy that prioritizes shared prosperity, empowers communities, and accommodates a range of values and views.

Poder Y Progreso: Nuestra Lucha Milenaria Por La Tecnología Y La Prosperidad / Power and Progress
BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Y WALL STREET JOURNAL. De dos ganadores del Premio Nobel de Ciencias Económicas 2024, "que han demostrado la importancia de las instituciones sociales para la prosperidad de un país". 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. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, "who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country's prosperity." In this bold reinterpretation of economics and history, the consequence of sole reliance on AI is revealed-as well as what must be done to redirect innovation so it benefits all. The transformation of work by digital technologies and AI could make life better for most people, or possibly much worse--depending on the economic, social, and political choices we make. Through illuminating examples, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson fundamentally change how we see the world. 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, and how it might be brought under control. Cutting-edge technological advances can become empowering tools, but not if all major decisions remain in the hands of a few tech leaders.

Gleichgewicht der Macht
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.

How Big Things Get Done
Megaprojektexperte Bent Flyvbjerg und Bestsellerautor Dan Gardner verraten die Geheimnisse erfolgreicher Planung und Umsetzung ambitionierter Projekte jeder Größenordnung. Der Bau- / Architektur- / Stadtplanungs- / Projektmanagement- / Renovierungs-Bestseller erstmals auf deutsch! »Wichtig, zeitgemäß, lehrreich und unterhaltsam. Was könnten Sie mehr verlangen?« - Daniel Kahneman Nichts ist inspirierender als eine große Vision, die zur triumphalen Realität wird. Apples iPod etwa entwickelte sich in elf Monaten von einem Projekt mit nur einem Mitarbeiter zu einem enorm erfolgreichen Produktlaunch. Aber solche Erfolge sind die Ausnahme: Man denke an Stuttgart 21, den Berliner Flughafen und die Elbphilharmonie. Aber auch bescheidenere Unternehmungen scheitern häufig, sei es die Gründung eines kleinen Unternehmens, die Organisation einer Konferenz oder einfach nur die rechtzeitige Fertigstellung eines Arbeitsprojekts. Warum? »Nachdem ich die Eigenschaften von Planungsfehlern untersucht habe, bin ich zuversichtlich, dass niemand das Thema breiter und tiefer studiert hat als Bent Flyvbjerg. Sein Fokus reicht von Olympischen Spielen bis zur Renovierung Ihrer Hundehütte.« - Nassim Nicholas Taleb Oxford-Professor Bent Flyvbjerg identifiziert die Fehler, die dazu führen, dass Projekte scheitern und zeigt die Prinzipien auf, die den Erfolg eines Projektes sicherstellen: Verstehen Sie Ihre Chancen. Wenn Sie sie nicht kennen, werden Sie nicht gewinnen. Planen Sie langsam, handeln Sie schnell. Schnell ins Handeln zu kommen, fühlt sich richtig an. Aber es ist falsch. Denken Sie von rechts nach links. Beginnen Sie mit Ihrem Ziel und identifizieren Sie dann die Schritte, um dorthin zu gelangen. Finden Sie Ihr Lego. Großes wird am besten aus Kleinem gebaut. Beherrschen Sie die unbekannten Unbekannten. Viele glauben, das geht nicht, daher scheitern sie. Flyvbjerg zeigt, wie es funktioniert. Voll von anschaulichen Beispielen, von der Erbauung der Oper in Sydney bis hin zur Produktion von Pixar-Blockbustern, von der Hochzeitsplanung zur Küchenrenovierung, deckt How Big Things Get Done auf, wie man jedes ambitionierte Projekt erledigt - pünktlich und im Budget. »Dass der Zeitplan und das Budget überschritten werden, ist eine unvermeidliche Tatsache. Inkompetenz und Betrug sind empörend. Doch mit diesem hervorragenden datengetriebenen Buch hat Bent Flyvbjerg gezeigt, dass es einen anderen Weg gibt.« - Frank Gehry

Power and Progress
Awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson overturn conventional wisdom about how economies work--revealing the untold story of who wins and who loses the rewards of prosperity--in a work that fundamentally transforms how we look at and understand the world. Throughout history, technological change — whether it takes the form of agricultural improvements in the Middle Ages, the Industrial Revolution, or today’s artificial intelligence — has been viewed as a main driver of prosperity, working in the public interest. The reality, though, is that technology is shaped by what powerful people want and believe, generating riches, social respect, cultural prominence, and further political voice for those already powerful. For most of the rest of us, there is the illusion of progress. Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson debunk modern techno-optimism through a dazzling, original account of how technological choices have changed the course of history. From vivid stories of how the economic surplus of the Middle Ages was appropriated by an ecclesiastical elite to build cathedrals while the peasants starved, to the making of vast fortunes from digital technologies today as millions are pushed towards poverty, we see how the path of technology is determined and who influences its trajectory. To achieve the true potential of innovation, we need to ensure technology is creating new jobs and opportunities rather than marginalizing most people, through automated work and political passivity. We need to use the tremendous digital advances of the last half century to create useful and empowering tools, and seize back control from a small elite of hubristic, messianic tech leaders pursuing their own interests. With their breakthrough economic theory and manifesto for building a better society, Acemoglu and Johnson provide the understanding and vision to reimagine and reshape the path of technology and create true shared prosperity.

Iktidar ve Teknoloji
Tarih boyunca teknoloji ve ilerleme el ele yürüyen iki kavram olarak degerlendirildi. Teknoloji cogu zaman gücü elinde bulunduranlar tarafindan yönlendirildi, ancak her zaman toplumun yarari gözetilmedi. Bugün teknoloji kücük bir grubun kontrolündeyken, iktidar ile teknoloji iliskisini yeniden düsünmek elzem.Daron Acemoglu ve Simon Johnson bu iliskiyi tarihsel sürecte ele alip teknolojiye gözetim degil, demokratiklesme araci olarak yeniden yön verilmesi gerektigini savunuyorlar. Ekonomi ve tarihten ustalikla süzdükleri bilgiler isiginda yeni bir vizyon öne sürüyorlar.
