Settler colonial development? Kate Meagher, ‘Does the Nobel Prize in Economics 2024 Signal a Reversal of Fortunes for Settler Colonialism?’, LSE Nobel Prize in Economics 2024 Series, 29/10/24

22Dec24

Abstract: Professor Kate Meagher questions whether the Nobel Prize awarded to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson reignites debate over whether settler colonialism fostered development through “inclusive” institutions or perpetuated exploitation and exclusion of indigenous populations. This is as part of our Nobel Prize in Economics 2024 series.
