Power and Progress - Daron Acemoglu , Simon Johnson
Description
Power and Progress by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson
In Power and Progress, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson challenge the idea that technological advancement automatically benefits everyone. Looking at history from the Industrial Revolution to artificial intelligence, they argue that progress often increases inequality unless institutions and policies push it in a fair direction.
This timely book explores who truly benefits from innovation — and how societies can ensure technology improves lives broadly, not just for the powerful few. A crucial read in the age of AI and automation. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
