Synopsis

BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Y WALL STREET JOURNAL.

De dos ganadores del Premio Nobel de Ciencias Econ�micas 2024, "que han demostrado la importancia de las instituciones sociales para la prosperidad de un pa�s".

Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson demuestran que el desarrollo t�cnico 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 tecnolog�a. Esta reflexi�n resulta muy pertinente en un mundo donde los avances digitales y la rob�tica amenazan a nuestros empleos y a nuestras democracias a trav�s de la automatizaci�n excesiva, la recopilaci�n 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 tecnolog�a, desde la revoluci�n agr�cola del Neol�tico al ascenso de la inteligencia artificial. Concluyen que el ser humano siempre puede permanecer en el asiento del conductor del desarrollo tecnol�gico, y decidir si sirve a los intereses de una �lite o al bien com�n.

Poder y progreso ofrece una nueva interpretaci�n de la econom�a pol�tica de la innovaci�n y desaf�a el derrotismo de quienes asumen que el desarrollo t�cnico trae inevitablemente una concentraci�n del poder y la riqueza. Acemoglu y Johnson demuestran que estos avances pueden convertirse en una herramienta de empoderamiento y democratizaci�n.

Este libro es un recordatorio esencial de que podemos y debemos recuperar el control de la tecnolog�a y redirigir la innovaci�n para que vuelva a beneficiar a la mayor�a.

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.
