The World Economic Journal’s “WEJ Awards” recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to specific fields while demonstrating a commitment to advancing humanity. In 2024, the awards focused on a key finding of Nobel Laureate Daron Acemoğlu, who was also named WEJ’s Person of the Year: the importance of inclusive and equitable institutions.
Acemoğlu’s research highlights how extractive institutions, which benefit only a select few, hinder societal progress. In contrast, pluralistic and inclusive institutions empower individuals by fostering greater participation in decision-making and ensuring equitable access to opportunities. Aligned with this principle, the awards recognize leaders who have championed projects that create a more equitable and inclusive society. These projects empower individuals across diverse social groups by providing them with greater opportunities for living, creativity, self-realization, and contributing to their communities.
