Suleiman - Antonio

“People were angry because I broke two religions at once,” Suleiman laughs, his eyes crinkling. “The religion of the past and the religion of the future. But the question I was asking is simple: What happens to prayer when the divine has a loading screen?”

More pointed criticism has come from left-leaning economists, who accuse Suleiman of being overly technocratic. Dr. Helena Vasquez of the Global Justice Institute once wrote that "Antonio Suleiman designs beautiful models for wealthy elites, but his adjustment periods always fall hardest on workers and the informal sector." Suleiman responded to this critique in a 2022 interview with The Financial Review , saying: "Economics is not about avoiding pain; it is about managing the duration and distribution of pain. My models reduce the length of suffering, even if they can’t eliminate the onset." antonio suleiman
