I am very much looking forward to discussing What Happened to Liberal Democracy? with Michael Sandel on September 24 at MIT

Dear followers,
I’m delighted to share this BBC interview BBC World Service - The Interview, Daron Acemoglu, Economist: Liberal democracy is in crisis https://t.co/1BzZNLO7ZT

Destruction of East India Company Gives US Lawmakers a Blueprint for Confronting Big Tech. The instruments to take apart entrenched corporate power “still exist,” but current governments are “lacking... the political nerve to use them,” said historian William Dalrymple

An essay I've just written for @nytimes on why Big Tech is the 21st Century’s equivalent of the East India Company:

In fact, in many areas where technooptimists argue that AI is going to revolutionize everything, the impact may be much less positive because current approaches are not helping us get to the bottom of mechanisms of human cognition, discovery, and innovation. In many of them, we need more and higher quality data to make further advance, and what makes AI very competent in coding and writing doesn’t generalize. Worse, in a few of them, AI enthusiasm may push research and investment in the wrong direction.

Dear followers
This is a truly brilliant article by Henry Farrell. Not because it defends me against the Economist (I have moved on). It’s the way Farrell frames and analyzes the issues surrounding technooptimism and AI. The Acemoglu Wars Are All About AI. https://t.co/gEjCxjHrza

One of the upshots of the Economist’s attack on Daron Acemoglu is that the key dividing line is not about methodology. You can literally be the most decorated mainstream economist but if you land on the “wrong” side, you are ousted.

The key dividing line is whose side you are on: workers or big business.

아세모글루는 포스트 케인스주의, 심지어 마르크스주의 경제학과 매우 유사한 결론에 도달했지만, 그 결론에 이르는 과정에서는 전혀 다른 개념과 방법론을 사용했다. 주류 경제학자들은 그의 기술적 능력이나 학문적 엄밀성을 문제 삼을 수 없다. 그것은 이미 충분히 입증되어 있기 때문이다.

Daron Acemoglu, who won the Nobel Prize in 2024, is no heterodox economist.

But now The Economist magazine has damned his work, because it challenges the untrammeled power of Big Tech elites. https://t.co/yw3oSl6zlJ

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

No economist accuses him of truly poor research, let alone academic malpractice. But is Daron Acemoglu’s reputation justified by his scholarship? https://t.co/8htJfYCmuA

[Daron Acemoglu @DAcemogluMIT]

I am not happy about the Economist’s article, which feels like a hit piece. There is also a background to it, which is more troubling (as I will share at some point). I asked them to allow me to respond. I am waiting for their answer. If not in the magazine, I will share my response here.

한 트윗 @brian_callaci은 이렇게 얘기하네요. "〈이코노미스트〉는 부유한 국가들이 부유한 이유는 더 나은 제도 덕분이라고 주장하던 아세모글루를 좋아했다. 하지만 그가 노동자의 힘과 자본의 기술 통제를 이야기하기 시작하자…"

[생각의힘 출판사 @books_tp]

노벨상 수상자여도 당연히 비판의 대상이 되지만, 이번 기사에는 새로운 내용은 없고 증오에 가득찬 느낌입니다. 가령 "오랫동안 대런 아세모글루는 경제학의 거인이었다. 그러나 경제학자에게 술 몇 잔을 대접하면, 그들 중 일부는 이 거인에 대한 진짜 의견을 조심스럽게 털어놓을 것이다."

@TheEconomist This article shows why you're not revered.

한국 사회 다수가 신봉하는 정치 체제/이념인 자유민주주의. 대체 무엇을 의미하고 어떤 변천 과정을 거쳤으며 지금 왜 이 모양이고 어떤 문제에 직면했으며 개선과 지속은 가능한지, 대안은 무엇인지 대런 아세모글루가 세밀하게 짚었다. 눈앞의 정치경제사회 현실을 이해하기 위해 읽어 봐야 할 책.
