MIT economist Daron Acemoğlu has won the Nobel Prize in Economics. At the beginning of the year he spoke to us about the global economy – and how Donald Trump would change it
This interview was conducted in early 2024. Now Daron Acemoğlu has won the Nobel Prize in Economics, so we are publishing it again.
Mr. Acemoğlu, what would it mean for the global economy if Donald Trump became President of the USA again?
DARON ACEMOĞLU: Biden has continued many of Trump’s first term in office. The trade war with China was less dramatic than some had previously feared. So Biden picked up where Trump left off. Nevertheless, Trump will probably appear much more aggressive in language alone and inflame the situation. But a lot is still extremely unclear.
