The 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel—commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics—was awarded to three distinguished economists: Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson.

Valued at 11 million Swedish crowns (approximately $1 million or €950,000), the prize was conferred by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in recognition of their research on how institutions are created and how they influence economic prosperity (Ricciuti).

Their groundbreaking work sheds light on why some nations achieve higher per capita incomes while others face persistent economic difficulties, highlighting the crucial role of strong institutions in fostering sustainable growth and social stability.

Indian Liberal Group

The Indian Liberal Group (ILG) is an organisation founded on 10th December 1965 by the late Minoo Masani, author and parliamentarian to promote the Liberal point of view on issues of the day and to educate the public on the concept of Liberalism.

The ILG seeks to emphasise the fact that a market economy by itself does not ensure an open society; that a free economy and a free society are two sides of the same coin; and that a free and democratic society alone will ensure a satisfying standard of life for the people.
