En noviembre de 2008, mientras el derrumbe financiero global se profundizaba, la entonces octogenaria reina Isabel visitó la Escuela de Economía de Londres y sorprendió a los prestigiosos académicos alli reunidos con una pregunta inocente pero muy aguda: dada la magnitud de la crisis, ¿por que nadie la habia advertido? La pregunta fue directo al corazon de dos grandes fracasos: el del capitalismo occidental, que todavia no se ha recuperado, y el de los economistas, que no entendieron que estaba pasando.Este libro trata sobre ese doble fracaso y propone salidas completamente innovadoras. Esta claro que el sistema actual no funciona: los hogares estan endeudados por no poder cubrir sus gastos basicos, el desempleo afecta cada vez a mas jovenes, se ahonda la brecha entre los que mas y los que menos tienen, entre las burbujas del sector financiero y el estancamiento de la economia real. Necesitamos pensar otro capitalismo desde los cimientos, para que el objetivo no sea solo redistribuir sino crear riqueza y valor, en un ciclo virtuoso y sustentable. ¿Como hacerlo? Para encontrar soluciones, los autores las y los mejores economistas contemporaneos proponen hacer a un lado las teorias ortodoxas que sustentan la mayoria de las politicas actuales, recetas que no permiten entender como funciona el capitalismo moderno y, por lo tanto, nunca lograrian que funcione mejor.Esas recetas, sin embargo, son muy taquilleras y dominan el debate publico, porque se sostienen en visiones idealizadas y simplistas de los mercados. Los capitulos de este libro, llenos de ideas y de propuestas, comienzan por desmontar uno a uno los lugares comunes de la ortodoxia que se escuchan todo el tiempo: que la inversion publica expulsa la inversion privada, que los impuestos desincentivan la creacion de riqueza y trabajo, que los gobiernos no deben tratar de dirigir o regular los mercados, que hay que tercerizar los servicios publicos, que la austeridad fiscal es la llave maestra para reducir el deficit.Con audacia, evidencia empirica y originalidad para construir un enfoque que contempla a los actores reales de la economia y la sociedad, este libro deja al desnudo que la ortodoxia anticuada que todavia decide el rumbo de muchos paises no tuvo y no tiene nada para aportar. El fracaso del capitalismo no es inevitable, y esta es una contribucion magistral para identificar que politicas podrian dar forma a un futuro diferente.

The award-winning author of The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy offers a scathing indictment of a global financial system that incentivizes taking over making and extraction over creation A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how economies work and who benefits. Martin Wolf, Financial TimesThe Value of Everything is a penetrating and passionate argument that modern capitalism has failed to clearly delineate between value creation and value extraction. As economist Mariana Mazzucato shows, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and beyond, foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, reward extractors rather than creators, and distort the measurements of growth and GDP. Asset management companies profit exorbitantly off of income generated elsewhere; big pharma uses value-based pricing to justify astronomically high prices for vital medicines that are publicly funded. In the process, innovation suffers and inequality widens.The Value of Everything reignites the debate over how we measure value in our societyand in so doing, shows how we can shape our economy to be more innovative and inclusive.

One of the most influential economists in the worldWiredEven before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the moonshot programmes which successfully co-ordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time. We must, she argues, rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and above all recover a sense of public purpose. Mission Economy, whose ideas are already being adopted around the world, offers a way out of our impasse to a more optimistic future.

WINNER OF THE 2019 MADAME DE STAEL PRIZE AND THE 2018 LEONTIEF PRIZE FOR ADVANCING THE FRONTIERS OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018Who really creates wealth in our world? And how do we decide the value of what they do? At the heart of todays financial and economic crisis is a problem hiding in plain sight.In modern capitalism, value-extraction is rewarded more highly than value-creation: the productive process that drives a healthy economy and society. From companies driven solely to maximize shareholder value to astronomically high prices of medicines justified through big pharmas value pricing, we misidentify taking with making, and have lost sight of what value really means. Once a central plank of economic thought, this concept of value - what it is, why it matters to us - is simply no longer discussed. Yet, argues Mariana Mazzucato in this penetrating and passionate new book, if we are to reform capitalism - radically to transform an increasingly sick system rather than continue feeding it - we urgently need to rethink where wealth comes from. Which activities create it, which extract it, which destroy it? Answers to these questions are key if we want to replace the current parasitic system with a type of capitalism that is more sustainable, more symbiotic - that works for us all. The Value of Everything reigniteS a long-needed debate about the kind of world we really want to live in.

10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION: UPDATED WITH A NEW PREFACESuperb ... At a time when government action of any kind is ideologically suspect, and entrepreneurship is unquestioningly lionized, the books importance cannot be understatedGuardianAccording to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the dynamic entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way.

Longlisted for the 2021 Porchlight Business Book Awards, Big Ideas & New PerspectivesShe offers something both broad and scarce: a compelling new story about how to create a desirable future.New York Times An award-winning author and leading international economist delivers a hard-hitting and much needed critique of modern capitalism in which she argues that, to solve the massive crises facing us, we must be innovativewe must use collaborative, mission-oriented thinking while also bringing a stakeholder view of public private partnerships which means not only taking risks together but also sharing the rewards. Capitalism is in crisis. The rich have gotten richerthe 1 percent, those with more than $1 million, own 44 percent of the worlds wealthwhile climate change is transformingand in some cases wiping outlife on the planet. We are plagued by crises threatening our lives, and this situation is unsustainable. But how do we fix these problems decades in the making? Mission Economy looks at the grand challenges facing us in a radically new way. Global warming, pollution, dementia, obesity, gun violence, mobilitythese environmental, health, and social dilemmas are huge, complex, and have no simple solutions. Mariana Mazzucato argues we need to think bigger and mobilize our resources in a way that is as bold as inspirational as the moon landingthis time to the most wicked social problems of our time.. We can only begin to find answers if we fundamentally restructure capitalism to make it inclusive, sustainable, and driven by innovation that tackles concrete problems from the digital divide, to health pandemics, to our polluted cities. That means changing government tools and culture, creating new markers of corporate governance, and ensuring that corporations, society, and the government coalesce to share a common goal.We did it to go to the moon. We can do it again to fix our problems and improve the lives of every one of us. We simply can no longer afford not to.

The world-leading economist envisions a common good compass to help navigate our economies in a radically different direction - one that works for everyoneOur economic system is broken. The climate crisis is accelerating. Inequality is deepening. Public trust is crumbling. Wealth concentrates in fewer hands while governments scramble to fix what markets cant do, rather than to shape them from the outset.For too long, economics has treated the good whether public goods or the commons as merely correcting market or government failures. This economic framing traps us in an endless cycle of being reactive, patching problems rather than proactively building the economy we need.In The Common Good Economy, Mariana Mazzucato builds on her visionary ideas of the entrepreneurial state and mission-oriented policies to establish a new theory of the common good, one which allows governments and businesses to develop purposeful economic relationships, creating value and building spaces where human flourishing can happen. She argues that how we achieve collective goals through collective action, participation and reciprocity matters as much as what those goals are. The book provides a practical common good compass to help navigate our economies in a radically different direction.Full of compelling real-world examples, from governing water to transforming procurement and finance, this is a rigorous reimagining of economics and a manifesto for a future economy that serves people and the planet. It could not be more timely.

El colapso del PIB mundial, el bloqueo de la producción y el comercio, infinidad de personas sumidas en la pobreza y el desempleo. Este es el resultado de la pandemia de la COVID-19 desde el punto de vista economico. El desafio al que se enfrentan los gobiernos de todo el mundo es enorme: la necesidad de aplicar medidas de apoyo a los ciudadanos y de ayuda a las empresas con dificultades, el refuerzo de los servicios sanitarios, un nivel de colaboracion entre naciones sin precedentes, desde la carrera por las vacunas hasta la gestion de las pruebas de deteccion y el rastreo de los contagios. Por desgracia, durante el ultimo medio siglo, el mensaje politico predominante en muchos paises ha sido que los gobiernos no pueden -y, por tanto, no deben- gobernar. Desde hace tiempo, politicos, dirigentes empresariales y expertos se dejan guiar por una ideologia que se centra en medidas estaticas de eficiencia para justificar los recortes de gastos, las privatizaciones y la subcontratacion. Esta es la razon por la que los gobiernos disponen ahora de menos herramientas para responder a la crisis. Y esta es precisamente la leccion de la COVID-19: la facultad de un Estado para gestionar una crisis de gran envergadura depende de lo que haya invertido en la capacidad de gobernar, hacer y gestionar, es decir, en dar forma a mercados que produzcan un crecimiento sostenible e inclusivo orientado al interes general.

There is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today which must change.Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington show that our economies reliance on companies such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY stunts innovation, obfuscates corporate and political accountability and impedes our collective mission of halting climate breakdown.The Big Con describes the confidence trick the consulting industry performs in contracts with hollowed-out and risk-averse governments and shareholder value-maximizing firms. It grew from the 1980s and 1990s in the wake of reforms by both the neoliberal right and Third Way progressives, and it thrives on the ills of modern capitalism, from financialization and privatization to the climate crisis. It is possible because of the unique power that big consultancies wield through extensive contracts and networks - as advisors, legitimators and outsourcers - and the illusion that they are objective sources of expertise and capacity. To make matters worse, our best and brightest graduates are often redirected away from public service into consulting. In all these ways, the Big Con weakens our businesses, infantilizes our governments and warps our economies.Mazzucato and Collington expertly debunk the myth that consultancies always add value to the economy. With a wealth of original research, they argue brilliantly for investment and collective intelligence within all organizations and communities, and for a new system in which public and private sectors work innovatively for the common good. We must recalibrate the role of consultants and rebuild economies and governments that are fit for purpose.
