MARIANA. MAZZUCATO

A Moonshot Approach to the Economy

MISSION - ECONOMICS

Mariana Mazzucato

The extraordinary efforts that took mankind to the moon 50 years ago were more than a scientific feat of aeronautics. They required new forms of collaboration between the public sector (notably, NASA) and private companies. This book asks- what if the same level of boldness - the boldness that set inspirational goals, took risks and explicitly recognized that this requires large spending but will be worthwhile in terms of long-term growth - was applied to the biggest problems of our time, climate change, disease and inequality, to name only a few? Mariana Mazzucato argues that applying innovation to societal goals and structuring government budgets more explicitly to the long-term, as the moon programme did, we can do government differently.

Mission: Economics

Róbert Istók

As a millennial, who did not witness the innovative power of governments, this book was a refreshing view that the public sector is responsible for some of the biggest inventions that we take for granted. 

But nowadays it feels the opposite, and that is one reason why people are losing trust in governments all around the world. The question is if they are able to return to their former strengths?
