“The work of the laureates reminds us that progress is not guaranteed. On the contrary, society must remain vigilant about the factors that generate and sustain economic growth — such as scientific innovation, creative destruction and a society open to change,” said Kerstin Enflo, professor of economic history and member of the Nobel Committee, during the announcement ceremony.
