Robinson – were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics last week. Their groundbreaking work on how institutions shape prosperity has transformed our understanding of the economic and political forces that drive global inequality. From Ukraine’s reconstruction to the regulation of artificial intelligence, the implications are as consequential as they are far-reaching. At Project Syndicate, we are proud to bring these scholars’ work to a global audience. Their commentaries are a powerful reflection of our mission to provide access to high-quality, expert-driven analyses of the critical issues shaping our world. As the media landscape becomes more fragmented and polarized, Project Syndicate remains a trusted source for credible, rigorously vetted commentary from the world’s leading thinkers. We invite you to explore a selection of the most influential commentaries from Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson, and join us in celebrating their well-deserved recognition.
