Description

The Entrepreneurial State Debunking Public Vs. Private Sector Myths by Mariana Mazzucato Conventional wisdom suggests that innovation is the preserve of the private sector, with the state playing a secondary role. However, this narrative overlooks the crucial role of public investments in driving groundbreaking innovations. In this thought-provoking book, Mariana Mazzucato challenges this myth, revealing how public sector investments have been behind many of the most significant technological advancements of our time. From the development of the iPhone's 'smart' technologies to biotech and pharmaceutical innovations, the state has often been the first to invest in pioneering, high-risk projects. The private sector, in turn, has followed suit, only taking bold risks after the state has made the initial investment. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the state's role in driving innovation, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between public and private sectors.
