Video lecture on Power and Progress

Three weeks ago, Daron Acemoglu gave a talk on Markus Brunnermeier’s “Markus Academy” on YouTube on the Acemoglu-Johnson book “Power and Progress”, about which I wrote a short post in May. I watched this talk today and I heartily endorse it both as a lively and short summary of the book and for the good questions Brunnermeier asked. I liked it enough to immediately add it to my Economic Inequality course syllabus for the fall. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/eGqaOhTq060
