Acerca de esta escucha
The world's most popular products, from the iPhone to Google Search, were funded not by private companies, but the taxpayer.
In this sharp and controversial international best seller, an award-winning economist debunks the pervasive myth that the government is sluggish and inept, and at odds with a dynamic private sector. She reveals in detailed case studies that the opposite is true: The state is, and has been, our boldest and most valuable innovator. Denying this history is leading us down the wrong path. A select few get credit for what is an intensely collective effort, and the US government has started disinvesting from innovation. The repercussions could stunt economic growth and increase inequality. Mazzucato teaches us how to reverse this trend before it is too late.

Historia
Mission Economy looks at the challenges facing us in a radically new way. Global warming, pollution, dementia, obesity, gun violence, mobility—these 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 landing—this 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.

The Value of Everything argues that American companies have for too long been valued according to the amount of wealth they capture for themselves rather than for the value they create for the economy. In fact, Pfizer, Amazon, and other companies are actually dependent on public money, spend their resources on boosting share prices and executive pay, and reap ever-expanding rewards without offering the market value.

There is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today that must change. Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington show that our economies’ reliance on companies such as McKinsey & Company, 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. Mazzucato and Collington argue for building a new system in which public and private sectors work innovatively for the common good.

Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? Author James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not - and cannot - be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge.

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing.

Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

Throughout history, technological change — whether it takes the form of agricultural improvements in the Middle Ages, the Industrial Revolution, or today’s artificial intelligence — has been viewed as a main driver of prosperity, working in the public interest. The reality, though, is that technology is shaped by what powerful people want and believe, generating riches, social respect, cultural prominence, and further political voice for those already powerful. For most of the rest of us, there is the illusion of progress.

Martin Wolf has long been one of the wisest voices on global economic issues. He has rarely been called an optimist, yet he has never been as worried as he is today. Liberal democracy is in recession, and authoritarianism is on the rise. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are threatened, even in democracy’s heartlands, the United States and England.

Crisis seems to follow crisis. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed every crack in the system. We hear more calls for radical change, even the overthrow of capitalism. But the answer to our problems is not revolution. The answer is to create a better capitalism by understanding and harnessing the power of creative destruction - innovation that disrupts, but that over the past 200 years has also lifted societies to previously unimagined prosperity.

Economics is the mother tongue of public policy. It dominates our decision-making for the future, guides multi-billion-dollar investments, and shapes our responses to climate change, inequality, and other environmental and social challenges that define our times. Pity then, or more like disaster, that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date yet are still taught in college courses worldwide and still used to address critical issues in government and business alike. That's why it is time, says renegade economist Kate Raworth, to revise our economic thinking for the 21st century. In Doughnut Economics, she sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth; redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to people; and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design.

Historia
Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870-2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.

Required Reading...
This should be required reading for any conscious Citizen, as it proof of how the State influences innovation and provides the undergirding foundations of Capitalism. Now, we simply need to reapply the rigors of state innovation and embrace socially responsible and sustainable capitalism that thrives on inclusive invention.

Insightful thesis, but could have been an essay.
While a very insightful and detailed thesis is put forward by a brilliant economist, this whole book could have been a third of its length and still conveyed thoroughly its main idea and all the supporting facts needed.

Myth Breaker-a new model for innovation
"Read" via Audio Book.
Interesting packaging of important theories of 'value creation' - who does what and who gets what (share of profits generated by a new electronic product (iPAD) as an example produced by a company utilizing a New Economic Business Model.
Mariana Mazzucato's basic thesis involves DeToxification of the various (self-serving) Private Sector Myths which relegate Government to an administrative or correcting market failure function - which does not recognize what a properly organized Government has done and yet could do.
Mariana uses several models to support her thesis - the basic one being Apple - in a nutshell although Jobs/Apple were indeed brilliant 'systems integrators' - the basic elements of iPADs, iPODS, iPhones - digital screen, micro disks, internet, gps were based upon discoveries funded by (D)Arpa, Xerox Parc and others labs from the U.S. Government. Apple licensed/appropriated these technologies; improved them; and performed system integration on these and other technologies - and created the market for personal electronic devices.
Apple licensed/appropriate these technologies but paid the U.S. Government only a modest amount if any amount.
Mariana discusses the work necessary to create a system wide demand and system wide supply of Green Environment Product (Photo-Voltaic cells; Wind Turbines and etc). This is a market and eco system that needs assistance as the IT market did before the Internet reached critical demand and supply 'mass'.
Another example is the Solyndra versus Tesla grants from ARPA-E. Solyndra went backrupt but Tesla thrived. Solyndra was the poster child for the Right Wing to beat Obama to death about his incompetence - however viewed from a portfolio perspective these investments yielded positive results in both a technology and market laced with uncertainty. Tesla has profited. Tesla received loans and grants - but the United States Government took no interest in the Company - wasn't paid back.
Mazzucato - believes the government has a role to play in systemic development of a wide spread innovation system - where the Government acts as a portfolio manager - with patient, long-term capital - for this they need to receive some of the upside when a company the Government invests in 'makes it' - for example they should take x% of the business as a fee.
Mazzucato details the significantly reduced levels of R&D ongoing within the United States versus China and others.
Mazzucato's thesis deserves wider discussion and modification before any possible implementation - but I feel it's "going the right way".
However as I write this I'm not hopeful that any such 'sea change' in the role of Government will be forthcoming in the near future in the U.S. Unless the United States becomes more aware of and competitive (in our mechanics - savings rate - technical education level of our people) with China - I'm not sure where all this 'ends up'. Unless there is some change -we'll run Fiscal and Trade Deficits as far as the eye can see.
An interesting theory - worth reading alone for the discussion about the creation of economic value (as in where is the economic value of an iPAD is created) - versus where a product is produced (iPAD in China) - and where the product is taxed (Apple has Utah, Ireland and British Virgin Islands Tax Subsidiaries). This legally allows Apple and others to avail themselves of U.S. Government technologies, paying little or nothing for them; and then limit the amount of U.S. Federal Income Tax they pay the entity that supplies some of their baseline technology. This, clearly is unsustainable - but cheered on by the 'free marketeers' - disciples of Milton Freedman - and Grover (Starve the Beast) Nordquist.
Should be of interest to those who read about technology and economics.

Very insightful and interesting
Details about how state funding of innovation should be done in there that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Very helpful.

Grossly Propogandist
The title says it, the book is filled with statements of an almost bullying nature to call out doubters. If you need to put that it your work, your work doesn’t speak for itself. Throughout, examples are used to support what I can only call a hypothesis, being theres nothing provided backing it up. If I were a teacher and this was a thesis, Mariana would have failed. Hope this helps someone else
