At MIT’s Stone Center, Michael Sandel questions Daron Acemoglu about his book What Happened to Liberal Democracy?: how center-left parties lost the working class, why redistribution cannot replace “the need to be needed” that Sandel calls contributive justice, why pro-worker AI should enhance work rather than replace it, and why a technology said to transform every part of life cannot be left to “a few frontier labs.”
