Risks and opportunities for Canada

Jayme sits down with Nobel laureate economist, Daron Acemoglu, a professor at MIT, and one of the leading thinkers about labour, politics and technology. 

He’s the author of the best-selling book “Why Nations Fail” and the forthcoming work “What Happened to Liberal Democracy?”. They talk about the decline of western liberal democracy, the alienation of the working class, AI, and more.

This was a live conversation at a summit put on by OCAD and Toronto Metropolitan University called the Democracy Xchange.
