Acemoğlu was one of the academics who signed a letter in support of legalizing marijuana in Colorado state's successful 2013 ballot referendum Amendment 64.
He wrote an op-ed for The Globe and Mail on the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, favoring inclusive society rather than one based on extractive institutions, "where an elite controls the economic and political system and uses its power to extract wealth from the society at everyone else’s expense", a term defined in his recent book.
In a Hürriyet interview on March 30, 2014, with reference to a recent offer of an ambassadorial posting from Turkish Government, he stated: "I do not intend to be part of bureaucracy or enter politics".
Personal life
Acemoğlu is married to Asu Özdağlar, a Turkish professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and daughter of a Turkish politician, İsmail Özdağlar, a former government minister.
Acemoğlu has become a celebrity based on his Acemoğlu Facts tumblr feed. The meme is a spin-off of Chuck Norris Facts with an economics flavour, documenting Acemoğlu's fictitious and often preposterous feats in the study of economics.
