I'm kind of interested to see if Trump comments on this at all. All three have spoken out against him. 3 Immigrants To America Win 2024 Nobel Prize In Economics “This year’s laureates in the economic sciences—Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson—have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences press release issued for the 2024 Nobel Prize in economics. “Societies with a poor rule of law and institutions that exploit the population do not generate growth or change for the better. The laureates’ research helps us understand why.” The economics award originated in 1969 and is formally named the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Daron Acemoglu was born in Istanbul, Turkey. He received an undergraduate degree from the University of York, followed by an MSc. and Ph.D. from the London School of Economics. He came to America in 1993 and became an economics professor at MIT. He coauthored with James Robinson Why Nations Fail and the Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy. In 2023, he coauthored with Simon Johnson the book Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity. Simon Johnson was born in the United Kingdom. He received a B.A. at the University of Oxford and an M.A. from the University of Manchester before coming to America as an international student and earning a Ph.D. at MIT. In addition to Power and Progress, Johnson published (with Jonathan Gruber) Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth and the American Dream, and other books. He has stayed engaged with world affairs, serving as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (2007-08). In 2024, he published a working paper for the Brookings Institution on “Strengthening Enforcement of the Russian Oil Cap” with Catherine Wolfram. James Robinson was born in the United Kingdom and earned a BSc. from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He received an M.A. from the University of Warwick before coming to the United States as an international student and earning a Ph.D. at Yale University. He became a professor at the University of Chicago in 2015 and since 2016 has been the Reverend Dr. Richard L. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at the school. Before the University of Chicago, Robinson was a professor at Harvard, U.C.-Berkeley and other institutions. He coauthored another book with Daron Acemoglu titled The Narrow Corridor: States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty and has received numerous awards.
You forgot about chemists, physicists, medical researchers and writers considering that over the years immigrants to the US have won Nobels in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature and there are probably others.
Stated above about the very first person and the paper he authored: “Societies with a poor rule of law and institutions that exploit the population do not generate growth or change for the better. The laureates’ research helps us understand why.” OMG, I couldn't have said it better myself. Republicans are simply asking to enforce the law and be able to know and vet who is coming into the country. Nowhere in the above OP does it state that these three were illegal immigrants or that they arrived by bypassing the systems and law in place. As an immigrant myself I don't have any issue with these folks or anyone else who arrives legally. Curious: do you folks lock your doors at your house; or, do you allow any random stranger who wants to enter to come in?
Immigrants applying for asylum are here legally. To apply for asylum you must be here or at a port of entry. You cannot request a visa to apply for asylum. Now what?
Oh so they can take our economist jobs as long as its legal, eh. I want my economy made in America by Americans, thanks.
There should be a 2,000% tariff on the imported Swedish award. Awards should all be made in America... given by Americans... and won by Americans! USA!
It's sad that people purposefully conflate legal immigrants with illegal immigrants just to make a NON-POINT...
So, some deep board lore here - is the Jonathan Gruber mentioned as the coauthor of one of these guy's books, the same guy that was the Obamacare boogeyman for conservative posters?
