Your eloquent words make mine redundant, Deirdre. In my ledger, which is of course of no note whatsoever, being as I am perhaps a B- or C+ economist according to measures popular in the profession, I can name at least 10 economists in one minute whose work far surpasses in importance the work of Acemoglu.
