Henrique, o livro literalmente elogia o Lula e o PT como partidos que representam uma transição virtuosa política em termos institucionais. Quer ver? Coloco prints abaixo:
O livro também permite que se classifique best como instituições extrativas. Vamos aos trechos?
"Secure property rights, the law, public services, and the freedom to contract and exchange all rely on the state, the institution with the coercive capacity to impose order, prevent theft and fraud, and enforce contracts between private parties. To function well, society also needs other public services: roads and a transport network so that goods can be transported; a public infrastructure so that economic activity can flourish; and some type of basic regulation to prevent fraud and malfeasance. Though many of these public services can be provided by markets and private citizens, the degree of coordination necessary to do so on a large scale often eludes all but a central authority. The state is thus inexorably intertwined with economic institutions, as the enforcer of law and order, private property, and contracts, and often as a key provider of public services. Inclusive economic institutions need and use the state.
The economic institutions of North Korea or of colonial Latin America —the mita, encomienda, or repartimiento described earlier—do not have these properties. Private property is nonexistent in North Korea. In colonial Latin America there was private property for Spaniards, but the property of the indigenous peoples was highly insecure. In neither type of society was the vast mass of people able to make the economic decisions they wanted to; they were subject to mass coercion. In neither type of society was the power of the state used to provide key public services that promoted prosperity. In North Korea, the state built an education system to inculcate propaganda, but was unable to prevent famine. In colonial Latin America, the state focused on coercing indigenous peoples. In neither type of society was there a level playing field or an unbiased legal system. In North Korea, the legal system is an arm of the ruling Communist Party, and in Latin America it was a tool of discrimination against the mass of people. We call such institutions, which have opposite properties to those we call inclusive, extractive economic institutions—extractive because such institutions are designed to extract incomes and wealth from one subset of society to benefit a different subset."
"This synergistic relationship between extractive economic and political institutions introduces a strong feedback loop: political institutions enable the elites controlling political power to choose economic institutions with few constraints or opposing forces. They also enable the elites to structure future political institutions and their evolution. Extractive economic institutions, in turn, enrich the same elites, and their economic wealth and power help consolidate their political dominance. In Barbados or in Latin America, for example, the colonists were able to use their political power to impose a set of economic institutions that made them huge fortunes at the expense of the rest of the population. The resources these economic institutions generated enabled these elites to build armies and security forces to defend their absolutist monopoly of political power. The implication of course is that extractive political and economic institutions support each other and tend to persist."
Acemoglu repetidas vezes também já falou que Bolsonaro era uma ameaça clara à democracia e que Lula era a melhor opção como, por exemplo, aqui

Ele também é crítico da relação Trump-Família Bolsonaro

Ele, diversas vezes, já mostrou que inovações tecnológicas podem ter efeitos sociais negativos e que o mercado nem sempre consegue captar bons incentivos

Por fim, a imensa maioria dos economistas de ponta acredita que a expansão das bets foi negativa socialmente e defende que bets e mercados preditivos sejam duramente regulados ou proibidos. Por fim, recomendo um livro de outro prêmio Nobel... o último print no caso, a tradução dele está em pré venda na Record.
Lula é o maior inimigo desse livro, escrito por vencedores do Prêmio Nobel de Economia.
O post abaixo, do Flamengo, é praticamente um resumo do que está no livro.
Não é sobre as apostas esportivas serem boas ou ruins para a população, e sim sobre ter um arcabouço institucional crível.
Quem vai investir em um país em que todos os acordos são furados uma semana antes das eleições?
