Mission Economy - Mariana Mazzucato

Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism by Mariana Mazzucato

In Mission Economy, renowned economist Mariana Mazzucato argues that capitalism doesn’t need to be abandoned—it needs to be reimagined. Drawing inspiration from the Apollo moon landing, she makes a powerful case for governments to once again take bold, mission-driven roles in solving society’s biggest challenges, from climate change and inequality to healthcare and technological transformation. Mazzucato challenges the idea that the public sector is slow, inefficient, or merely a market fixer. Instead, she shows how governments have historically been the real risk-takers behind major innovations—from the internet to GPS—and how today’s crises demand the same level of ambition and coordination. Markets, she argues, should be shaped toward public purpose, not left to extract value without accountability. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery from Readers’ Republik.
