Daron Acemoglu

"Daron Acemoglu is one of the most brilliant and insightful thinkers I’ve ever known. His particular genius is being able to look at impossibly complex problems and see right to the heart of what matters. In What Happened to Liberal Democracy?, Acemoglu pinpoints what is going wrong in the modern world, and even more importantly, charts a reasonable path to something much better. What Happened to Liberal Democracy? is a tour de force that left me feeling more optimistic about the future than I have in a long time." —Steven Levitt, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of *Freakonomics*
