Mariana Mazzucato

Mariana Mazzucato is an Italian-American economist and academic who has become one of the most influential voices in debates about the role of the state in the economy. She is a professor at University College London, where she founded the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her books, including The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy, challenge conventional thinking about innovation and argue that governments play a far more significant role in driving economic progress than is commonly acknowledged. The Common Good Economy continues her work reimagining how economies can be structured to serve public interests. Her audiobooks and books are essential listening and reading for anyone interested in economics, public policy, and the future of capitalism.
