In this episode, I talk with Daron Acemoglu about the rapid pace of technological change and its impact on democracy, institutions, politics, and society. Drawing on concepts from his book Power and Progress, we discuss ideas like the 'productivity bandwagon' and 'so-so automation,' along with technology’s dual potential to uplift the world from poverty and shape future prosperity. We also touch on the nuanced history of Industrial Revolution and how it could be related to the technological progress of today.

A discussion with Steven Neil Durlauf, the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor and the Director of the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. Prior to this appointment, he was William F. Vilas Research Professor and Kenneth J. Arrow Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Durlauf received a BA in economics from Harvard in 1980, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and a Ph.D. in economics from Yale in 1986. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a Fellow of the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory, a Fellow of the International Association of Applied Econometrics, and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011.
Durlauf was Co-Director of the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Working Group from 2010 to 2022, an international research network linking scholars across disciplines in the study of inequality and the sources of human flourishing and destitution. Additionally, Durlauf served as Economics Program Director of the Santa Fe institute from 1996-1998. He is currently a General Editor of the Elsevier Handbooks in Economics series and was a General Editor of The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, revised edition, published in 2008. He also served as the Editor of the Journal of Economic Literature from 2013 to 2022.
Durlauf's research spans many topics in economics, with his most important contributions involving the areas of poverty, inequality, and economic growth. Much of his research has attempted to integrate sociological ideas into economic analysis. He helped pioneer the application of statistical mechanics techniques to the modelling of socioeconomic behavior and has also developed identification analyses for the empirical analogs of these models. His other research focuses on techniques for policy evaluation and the econometrics of cross-country income differences. Durlauf is known as a critic of the use of the concept of social capital by social scientists and has challenged the ways that agent-based modelling and complexity theory have been employed to study socioeconomic phenomena.
In this episode, we delve deep into these critical topics, unpacking the complexities and exploring innovative perspectives. The conversation covers the multifaceted nature of economic disparities and the factors driving them, analyzing the dynamics of economic growth and the policies that can foster sustainable development. It also explores how sociological concepts can enhance our understanding of economic phenomena and lead to more comprehensive models. Additionally, the importance of mathematics in economic research and policy-making is emphasized. Steven shares his insights on how mathematical rigor contributes to the precision and clarity of economic theories and their practical applications.

I had the incredible honor of hosting Dr. Adeeb Khalid, a distinguished historian and scholar whose extensive work significantly shaped our understanding of modern Central Asia. Dr. Khalid held a BA from the University of Punjab, Lahore, a BA from McGill University, and an MA and PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Since 1993, he had been a professor at Carleton College.
Dr. Khalid's research delved deep into the history of Central Asia, focusing on the region's cultural and identity transformations from the Russian conquest of the 1860s to the present day. His work intricately explored the intersection of the Muslim and Russian/Soviet worlds, with a particular emphasis on the fate of Islam under Tsarist and Soviet rule. His interests spanned culture and cultural change, empire and colonialism, and nationhood in its various forms.
Over the years, Dr. Khalid was the recipient of numerous prestigious grants from foundations such as the Guggenheim Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others. He also held esteemed visiting research positions at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in Paris and the Kluge Center for Scholars at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.
Dr. Khalid was the author of four influential books: "The Politics of Muslim Cultural Reform: Jadidism in Central Asia," "Islam after Communism: Religion and Politics in Central Asia," "Making Uzbekistan: Nation, Revolution, and Empire in the Early USSR," and "Central Asia: A New History from the Imperial Conquests to the Present." His latest book offered an integrated narrative of both the "Russian" and "Chinese" parts of Central Asia and had been translated into multiple languages, reflecting its global impact.
Among his many accolades, "Islam after Communism" won the 2008 Wayne S. Vucinich Book Prize, and "Making Uzbekistan" received the Reginald Zelnik Book Prize in History in 2016. These awards highlighted the profound contributions Dr. Khalid made to the fields of Russian, Eurasian, and East European studies.
