The US political climate is reaching fever pitch. The midterms are days away, following closely on elections in Brazil, Serbia and Israel, while in the UK, Andy Burnham's government has just unveiled its first budget. For MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, co-winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in economics, the stakes go beyond individual governments or countries to the state of democracy itself.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, Acemoglu talks about his latest book, ‘What Happened to Liberal Democracy: Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity’.

In it he offers a prescription for the center-left of politics, the political tradition with which he is aligned, and which he argues needs a new focus in the age of AI and algorithmic social media.
