Why Nations Prosper and Fail: Lessons from the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences

What makes some nations flourish while others falter? Join us on December 5th for a compelling discussion on this fundamental question, inspired by the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences awarded to Daron Acemoglu, James A. Robinson, and Simon Johnson. Professors Vincenzo Galasso and Mara Squicciarini from Università Bocconi will explore the pioneering research that uncovers how political, cultural, and institutional forces shape a nation’s path to prosperity. Through insights and debate, this in-person event offers a unique opportunity to dive into the mechanisms of economic development and the Nobel Prize’s lasting impact on economic research.

See you there!
