Paris, February 12th, 2025 - AI Summit - session organized by Project Syndicate Daron Acemoglu, Nobel Laureate in Economics and Institute Professor of Economics at MIT Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France Daron Acemoglu, Nobel Prize-winning economist, discusses the dual nature of technology in his AI Summit talk. While technology has historically improved health, comfort, and prosperity, it can also be misused, and its development doesn't always align with optimal social outcomes.

  This summary highlights key insights from the NBER Working Paper titled "The Political Economy of Geoeconomic Power" by Christopher Clayton, Matteo Maggiori, and Jesse Schreger. The paper examines how great powers leverage economic and financial capabilities to achieve geopolitical objectives—a phenomenon known as "geoeconomics."

We hope this overview offers a thought-provoking perspective on the intersection of economics and geopolitics. Key Arguments on the Rise of Geoeconomics: Definition and Scope: Geoeconomics involves the strategic use of economic tools—such as sanctions, export controls, and supply chain manipulation—to achieve geopolitical aims, influencing both domestic and foreign business dynamics. Economic Strength vs. Geoeconomic Power: A nation's economic size forms the basis of geoeconomic influence, but effective power r...
