Power and Progress: 1000-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity

MIT South Asian Alumni Association (MITSAAA)

Tuesday, May 6, 12:00pm - 1:00pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

In this presentation, the 2024 Economics Nobel Prize Winner and MIT Distinguished Professor Simon Johnson will discuss how technology has been the mover of progress and prosperity for the last 1000 years.  And how we must manage, navigate and share technology for mass productivity and prosperity.  Professor Johnson has very interesting insights into the various rules/governance and their impact on the prosperity of the societies. For instance, how the British rule has adversely impacted the prosperity of South Asia.
 
In its review, Guardian says that the work of Nobelists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson shows us "how technology — ultimately the source of 85 percent of new wealth — can be used for human betterment."  Times (London) says that the work discusses whether technology "will threaten social stability by increasing inequality and undermining democracy."
 
This event is a collaboration with the MIT Sloan Club of New York.
