New from McKinsey & Company

Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson of MIT, and James Robinson of the University of Chicago were awarded the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their research on how societal institutions shape a country’s prosperity. “I believe that the political economy of growth, how we make it happen, what sort of institutions we have to have in order to undergird growth, who benefits from growth, how you regulate growth, and technology, automation, AI, the direction of technological change—those are intimately connected,” said Acemoglu in a 2021 episode of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast with Michael Chui.
