It is among the grandest topics in scholarship: Why do some nations, such as the United States, become wealthy and powerful, while others remain stuck in poverty? And why do some of those powers, from ancient Rome to the modern Soviet Union, expand and then collapse? From Adam Smith and Max Weber to the current day, scores of writers have grappled with these questions. Some scholars, like Weber, have argued that religious or cultural differences create vastly different economic outcomes among countries. Others have asserted that a lack of natural resources or technical expertise has prevented poor countries from creating self-sustaining economic growth. Economists Daron Acemoglu of MIT and James Robinson of Harvard University have another answer: Politics makes the difference. Countries that have what they call "inclusive" political governments — those extending political and property rights as broadly as possible, while enforcing laws and providing some public infrastructure — experience the greatest growth over the long run. By contrast, Acemoglu and Robinson assert, countries with "extractive" political systems — in which power is wielded by a small elite — either fail to grow broadly or wither away after short bursts of economic expansion.

French economist Thomas Piketty caused a sensation in early 2014 with his book on a simple, brutal formula explaining economic inequality: r is greater than g (meaning that return on capital is generally higher than economic growth). Here, he talks through the massive data set that led him to conclude: Economic inequality is not new, but it is getting worse, with radical possible impacts.

Large-scale surveys of US attitudes reveal widespread misperceptions that determine economic biases. Stefanie Stantcheva, professor of economics at Harvard, explains that Americans’ misplaced optimism about social mobility makes them less likely to support tax and spending programs to help the poor. Similarly, Americans overestimate the number of immigrants in the United States and the percentage of immigrants who are poor, breeding a general hostility to immigrants. She finds that differences in perceptions align with political viewpoints. Her comments are from the “Combating Inequality” conference at the Peterson Institute for International Economics on October 17–18, 2019.

Economic inequality is on the rise after a historic decline, and the trend is especially dramatic in the United States, according to Lucas Chancel, codirector of the World Inequality Lab and of the World Inequality Database (WID) at the Paris School of Economics. In a presentation at the conference on “Combating Inequality” at the Peterson Institute for International Economics on Oct. 17-18, 2019, Chancel outlines basic facts about inequality, including how Americans are now much less likely to earn more than their parents, gender inequality has improved but remains high, and why policies determine levels of inequality in a country more than exposure to trade and technological advances. Chancel emphasizes the roles of progressive taxation, and financing education and healthcare in curbing extreme inequality.

Daron Acemoglu is an esteemed economist and author, currently serving as the Killian Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His main areas of research include political economy, economic development and growth, network economics, human capital and technological innovation. Much of his work studies the political, economic and social origins of the differences in economic development across societies. He has also explored the institutional and political evolution of nations and the role that technology plays in shaping economic growth. Acemoglu’s track-record of addressing conventional economic principles in a highly original and astute fashion makes him one of the best regarded thought leaders in the field.
