BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Y WALL STREET JOURNAL.

De dos ganadores del Premio Nobel de Ciencias Económicas 2024, "que han demostrado la importancia de las instituciones sociales para la prosperidad de un país".

Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson demuestran que el desarrollo técnico es indispensable para el avance de la democracia.


El progreso no es un destino predeterminado, sino que depende de las elecciones que hagamos sobre la tecnología. Esta reflexión resulta muy pertinente en un mundo donde los avances digitales y la robótica amenazan a nuestros empleos y a nuestras democracias a través de la automatización excesiva, la recopilación masiva de datos y la vigilancia intrusiva.


Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson emprenden en este libro un impresionante recorrido por la historia y el futuro de la tecnología, desde la revolución agrícola del Neolítico al ascenso de la inteligencia artificial. Concluyen que el ser humano siempre puede permanecer en el asiento del conductor del desarrollo tecnológico, y decidir si sirve a los intereses de una élite o al bien común.


Poder y progreso ofrece una nueva interpretación de la economía política de la innovación y desafía el derrotismo de quienes asumen que el desarrollo técnico trae inevitablemente una concentración del poder y la riqueza. Acemoglu y Johnson demuestran que estos avances pueden convertirse en una herramienta de empoderamiento y democratización.


Este libro es un recordatorio esencial de que podemos y debemos recuperar el control de la tecnología y redirigir la innovación para que vuelva a beneficiar a la mayoría.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER


From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, "who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country's prosperity."

In this bold reinterpretation of economics and history, the consequence of sole reliance on AI is revealed-as well as what must be done to redirect innovation so it benefits all.

The transformation of work by digital technologies and AI could make life better for most people, or possibly much worse--depending on the economic, social, and political choices we make. Through illuminating examples, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson fundamentally change how we see the world. Throughout the world today, digital technologies and artificial intelligence undermine jobs and democracy through excessive automation, massive data collection, and intrusive surveillance. It doesn't have to be this way.

Power and Progress demonstrates the path of technology, and how it might be brought under control. Cutting-edge technological advances can become empowering tools, but not if all major decisions remain in the hands of a few tech leaders.
