Description
The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy by Mariana Mazzucato
A penetrating and passionate new book that argues that if we are to reform capitalism, we urgently need to rethink where wealth comes from. Mazzucato explores the concept of value and its significance in modern capitalism, highlighting the problem of value-extraction being rewarded more highly than value-creation.
This book reignites a long-needed debate about the kind of world we really want to live in, and offers a radical transformation of an increasingly sick system. By examining the activities that create, extract, and destroy wealth, Mazzucato aims to replace the current parasitic system with a more sustainable and symbiotic form of capitalism.
