Why Africa Is Still Poor - Exclusive Interview with Daron Acemoglu

About this episode

We were lucky enough to talk with Prof. Asemoglu of MIT about why Africa lags economically despite so much aid and resources being pumped into the country each year. From the impact of institutions to the legacy of policies, we talked about the reasons behind the continent's challenges and the potential paths forward that might actually help improve living conditions in African nations within our lifetimes.
