Podcast appearances and mentions of Mariana Mazzucato

Harini Amarasuriya est la Première ministre du Sri Lanka, un pays qui sort de cinq années de crise financière et d'instabilité politique. De passage à Paris le 1er avril dernier afin de participer à une conférence internationale sur la protection du patrimoine bouddhiste de son pays, dont le célèbre site archéologique d'Anuradhapura inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, elle s'est entretenue avec RFI.  RFI : Madame la Première ministre, vous avez été nommée à votre poste en novembre dernier. Quel bilan faites-vous de vos cent jours au pouvoir ? Harini Amarasuriya : Renouer avec la stabilité politique, c'était ça notre priorité et c'est ce que nous avons, je crois, réussi à instaurer au cours des cent premiers jours de pouvoir. Après les turbulences de ces dernières années, la population avait besoin de se sentir rassurée avec un exécutif stable aux manettes, sans décalage entre les promesses et les actions du gouvernement, bref, un gouvernement auquel les Sri Lankais peuvent faire confiance. Cette confiance est née aussi du fait que l'économie est en voie de rétablissement même si je ne dirais pas que nous soyons encore tout à fait sortis de l'affaire. Qui plus est, et je crois c'est fondamental, nous avons réussi à imprimer la possibilité de faire la politique différemment que nos prédécesseurs. Les électeurs ont rejeté la vieille garde et sa politique déconnectée du quotidien, laissant les citoyens se débrouiller seul. Voilà quels sont, je dirais, les principaux acquis de cette période.Vos détracteurs dépeignent votre entourage comme une « bande d'idéologues », enfermés dans leur utopie marxiste-léniniste. Vous reconnaissez-vous dans ce portrait qu'on brosse de vous et de vos collègues ministres ?Cette référence à l'idéologie marxiste-léniniste concerne de prime abord la Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna ou le JVP, le parti que dirige le président Dissanayake et qui est une composante de notre coalition au pouvoir. Cette coalition, le National People's Power ou le NPP est une alliance plus ouverte, située au centre-gauche de l'échiquier politique. Au cours des cinq dernières années, soit depuis 2019, la plateforme que le NPP a présentée à la population a été essentiellement axée sur des solutions pragmatiques à apporter aux problèmes auxquels les gens sont confrontés au quotidien. Certes, dans nos discours, il est beaucoup question de justice sociale, d'équité, d'égalité, mais nous avons toujours affirmé que nous ne nous laisserions pas enfermer dans des cases idéologiques. Il n'est pas question pour nous de privilégier une idéologie quelconque, faisant fi des impératifs de l'ici et maintenant.L'un de vos principaux succès a sans doute été économique, puisque l'économie srilankaise a renoué avec la croissance. Mais le mérite pour le succès ne devrait-il pas revenir d'abord à votre prédécesseur qui avait négocié le prêt de sauvetage avec le FMI ?   Le président Ranil Wickremesinghe, prédécesseur de l'actuel chef de l'État du Sri Lanka avait en effet engagé les discussions avec le FMI dans ce sens. L'accord pour un prêt avait été signé avant que nous n'arrivions au pouvoir en septembre dernier, mais je pense que nous pouvons être crédités de la mise en œuvre de cet accord dans des conditions qui soient acceptables pour la population.En accédant au pouvoir, nous avons pris langue avec le bailleur de fonds institutionnel. Le gouvernement a négocié pied à pied pour faire assouplir les mesures d'austérité draconiennes. Par exemple, nous voulions une protection sociale renforcée, et l'ajustement du régime fiscal. Nous avons pu aussi réduire la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (TVA) sur les produits de première nécessité, notamment sur les fournitures éducatives essentielles et les médicaments. Les salaires ont été augmentés dans le secteur public. La paix sociale était à ce prix et elle est à mettre à notre crédit.Le problème avec l'ancien président qui avait négocié l'accord, ce n'était pas tant l'accord en soi qui posait problème, mais le fait que cet accord n'était pas soutenu par le peuple. Pour notre part, c'est fort du mandat du peuple srilankais que nous avons discuté avec le FMI, pour s'assurer que le fardeau de la dette soit équitablement partagé entre les différentes couches sociales du Sri Lanka. La morale de l'histoire, c'est que la stabilité économique ne peut être garantie sans la stabilité politique et sans le soutien du peuple pour l'application des réformes.Le président Dissanayake, tout comme vous, avez été élus sur une promesse de rupture avec le précédent régime. Comment définiriez-vous votre feuille de route ?On pourrait dire, pour simplifier, que notre feuille de route, c'est la réforme du contrat social entre citoyens et classe politique au Sri Lanka. Sur l'île, les années post-indépendance ont été marquées par une lutte acharnée entre l'élite et le peuple. Cette tension s'est manifestée de différentes manières, notamment à travers des conflits et des violences extrêmes qui ont ensanglanté notre histoire moderne. Je pense à la guerre de sécession dans le Nord, à l'insurrection de la jeunesse cinghalaise en 1971... Pour moi, le mouvement « Aragalaya », la grande révolution citoyenne de 2022, relève de cette même aspiration pour une société plus égalitaire. Notre feuille de route répond à cette aspiration en proposant de jeter les bases d'une relation renouvelée entre l'État et la population.La refonte de la relation entre l'État et la population passe par une réconciliation nationale entre la majorité cinghalaise et la minorités tamoule qui a subi des abus et des violations pendant la guerre civile. Votre camp qui a fait une percée spectaculaire dans le nord aux législatives est attendu avec impatience sur ce terrain. Où en êtes-vous dans votre réflexion sur la mise en place d'un mécanisme pour déterminer la responsabilité des violences perpétrées pendant les années de guerre civile ?Je ne sais pas si vous le savez, lorsque la guerre civile dans le nord a pris fin en 2009, le JVP s'est manifesté dès les premières heures qui ont suivi la fin des hostilités pour réclamer la création le plus rapidement possible d'une commission « Vérité et Réconciliation » sur le modèle sud-africain. Bien sûr, cette demande n'a pas été prise au sérieux à l'époque.Aujourd'hui, nous nous trouvons plusieurs années après la fin de la guerre. Il est à craindre que la mise en place aujourd'hui d'un mécanisme d'enquête pour connaître la vérité sur la guerre civile n'ouvre les vannes de la détresse en ravivant des souvenirs qui ont été soigneusement enterrés. Qui plus est, ces victimes ont raconté leurs histoires aux différents comités d'enquêtes mis en place au fil des ans. Ce que les gens veulent aujourd'hui, ce sont des actions concrètes à partir des informations et révélations déjà enregistrées. Nous voulons commencer ce processus de réparation dès cette année, en nous appuyant sur des logistiques existantes telles que le Bureau des Personnes Disparues et le Bureau de l'Unité Nationale et de la Réconciliation.Par ailleurs, il faut que nous nous assurions que tous les citoyens, indépendamment de leur appartenance ethnique et de leur religion, puissent pleinement bénéficier des projets de développement lancés par le gouvernement central. Pendant trop longtemps, les minorités dans le nord et à l'est ont été tenues à l'écart des programmes et des politiques de développement du gouvernement central. Nous œuvrons pour que désormais les projets du gouvernement central tiennent compte des besoins et des inquiétudes des citoyens qui vivent loin des bureaux des décideurs gouvernementaux.Au cours des cent jours écoulés, la politique étrangère a été l'un des principaux champs d'action du nouveau gouvernement srilankais. Le président Dissanayake s'est rendu en Inde en novembre, puis en Chine en janvier. Maintenant, il s'apprête à recevoir le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi à Colombo. On a l'impression que vous vous êtes partagé les tâches diplomatiques : à vous le vaste monde et au président le voisinage compliqué…Les tâches sont partagées entre les 21 membres du gouvernement. C'est une répartition du travail particulièrement sophistiquée. Quant à ma visite en France, elle avait été décidée avant que la visite officielle du Premier ministre indien Modi ne soit finalisée. Je serai ensuite de retour au Sri Lanka pour accueillir avec mon président, le Premier ministre Modi que j'aurais déjà rencontré au sommet BIMSTEC qui se déroule cette année à Bangkok.La compétition entre l'Inde et la Chine pour asseoir leur domination sur Colombo n'est pas sans rappeler les rivalités anglo-russes en Asie centrale au début du siècle dernier. Comment votre petit pays insulaire vit-il cette nouvelle version du « Grand jeu » ?Voyez-vous, le Sri Lanka, historiquement, a toujours été, en raison de notre emplacement géostratégique, au centre d'intérêts concurrents. Les superpuissances ne nous ont jamais ignorés. Nous avons suscité la compétition, nous avons été un partenaire très recherché par les acteurs globaux et régionaux. Nous avons donc l'habitude de gérer des intérêts concurrents, sans oublier de s'assurer de notre propre sécurité au milieu de ce tumulte. La scène de théâtre de l'ombre où nous nous retrouvons aujourd'hui, dans le contexte d'émergence de superpuissances régionales, est très représentative de la manière dont le Sri Lanka a toujours dû à agir avec ses voisins et alliés. La Chine et l'Inde sont des pays avec lesquels nous avons des relations historiques sur plusieurs fronts : économiques, culturels, religieux, pour ne citer que ceux-là. Il y a eu entre nous des palimpsestes de relations commerciales, beaucoup de mouvements, beaucoup d'aller et retour. C'est ça, le Sri Lanka. Comme vous avez la réputation d'être une grande lectrice, je voudrais finir cette interview en vous demandant de partager avec nous vos goûts en littérature. Citez-nous trois livres qui vous ont passionnée.Je pense en premier à Brotherless Night de V.V. Ganeshananthan (Penguin Books, 2023),  Le livre a remporté le Women's Prize for Fiction en 2024. C'est sans doute l'un des meilleurs livres sur le conflit sri-lankais que j'ai lus. Pendant longtemps, j'avais arrêté de lire des livres sur le conflit srilankais parce que je faisais un blocage psychologique par rapport à cette thématique. L'autre livre que j'ai lu avec fascination tout récemment, c'est Human Acts (Random, 2017) de la Sud-Coréenne Han Kang. C'était vraiment une lecture difficile, mais importante. En fait, j'ai lu à la fois Han Kang et Ganeshananthan. Ce sont deux approches très contrastées de la guerre et des événements traumatiques.Le troisième livre sur lequel j'aimerais attirer l'attention de vos lecteurs, n'est pas un roman. The Value of Everything est un essai de quelque 400 pages, sous la plume d'une économiste britannique, Mariana Mazzucato. Je déteste l'économie. Je devrais plutôt dire que je détestais l'économie, mais en me lançant dans la politique je me suis rendu compte que je ne pouvais plus ignorer l'économie. En fait, c'est l'essai de Mazzucato qui m'a fait vraiment aimer l'économie qu'elle raconte comme une histoire, comme une philosophie, comme un humanisme. Je relis régulièrement ce livre pour me rappeler que l'important, c'est la valeur qu'on attache aux choses et pas leur coût.

In this episode, we're joined by Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a Malaysian economist and thought leader who served as the Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development at the United Nations (UN) and Assistant Director-General at the FAO. We explore how countries in the Global South can chart their own paths to prosperity.   What makes a country truly developed? Is it just GDP per capita or something deeper?   Professor Jomo challenges conventional economic dogma—unpacking flawed narratives around FDI, inflation, aid, and industrial policy. With sharp historical insight and grounded realism, he examines why only a few countries have truly made the leap from developing to developed, and what it takes for the rest to follow.   We dive deep into: • Why South Korea's path to development is so unique—and rarely replicated • The dangers of relying too heavily on foreign direct investment (FDI) • How resource-rich countries like Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea remain poor • The role of good governance—myth vs. reality • Industrial policy and protectionism in the modern age • The myth of the 2% inflation target and the origins of TFP calculations • Why we need whistleblowers in economics to fight mythology   Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. GDP Isn't Everything: Professor Jomo argues that true development is about human capabilities—not just high income. Many mineral-rich countries show that high GDP doesn't guarantee a capable, prosperous society. 2. FDI Is Not a Magic Bullet: Countries like South Korea succeeded by limiting FDI and building domestic capacity. In contrast, over-reliance on foreign capital can lead to wealth extraction without long-term benefits. 3. Governance Indicators Are Circular: Metrics of good governance often reinforce existing biases, labeling developing countries as inherently poor-governed based on narrow criteria. 4. Aid Isn't Always Altruistic: While aid can help, it often serves political purposes and fails to address structural problems. Misguided advice—like telling Tanzania not to tax gold mining—has impoverished nations further. 5. The Power of Industrial Policy: From the U.S. post-Civil War to modern-day China, industrial policy has always driven real growth. The current revival of protectionism may reshape global trade dynamics. 6. The Myth of the 2% Inflation Target: Professor Jomo dismantles the origin story of the widely accepted 2% inflation target, tracing it back to a political slogan in New Zealand rather than any real economic justification. 7. Emerging Markets Must Think Contextually: There's no one-size-fits-all model for development. Local conditions, capabilities, and smart policymaking matter more than mimicking the West. 8. Technology's Role Is Complex: AI and machine learning have vast potential, but without equitable distribution, they may worsen inequality. True progress lies in how benefits are shared.   Join us for this unfiltered, eye-opening episode with Professor Jomo, where we challenge dominant development narratives and explore the real ingredients of economic transformation.   Follow our host on Linkedln to know more or subscribe to our emailing list to get new episodes directly into your inbox.   This conversation is part of the Emerging Market Innovation Series, brought to you in collaboration with Strategic Counsel, where we're also joined by Hafidzi Razali, Founder and CEO of Strategic Counsel.   Timestamps: (00:00) – Introduction to Professor Jomo and his global economic leadership (02:00) – What defines a developed country?

Today, we delve into the world of organizations and what my guest calls a “future-fit” organisational culture. My guest is Geoff Marlow and he has over three decades of experience around the world helping organisations create these future-fit cultures. That term caught my attention because around here, we're interested in the future and uncertainty. For part of his career, Geoff spent time on the leadership team of the Society for Organisational Learning,  which included the legendary Dr. Peter Senge - a renowned or was a renowned management guru and Arie de Geus, a scenario thinker who was the head of Shell's strategic planning group.  Geoff helps leaders understand why organisations fail or succeed. And we tackle all of that in this conversation. We get into Geoff's three aspects of a future-fit culture, which are sense-making, decision-making, and action-taking. We also talk about leadership, change, and so much more.

Last week, President Trump signed a memorandum calling for reciprocal tariffs on countries that charge fees on US exports and called his 25% tariff order on all steel and aluminum imports “the beginning of making America rich again.” But is it? We turn to three brilliant economists for their takes (and disagreements) on the real impact Trumponomics will have on the U.S. economy. Kara leads a spirited and insightful conversation about industrial policy, the efficacy of Trump's tariffs, how worried we should really be about the U.S. 's trade deficit, the odds of an AI bubble and bail out, and, of course, DOGE. Featuring:  Oren Cass, the founder and chief economist of American Compass, a conservative think tank, and a contributing opinion writer for the Financial Times and the New York Times.  Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist who writes a newsletter on Substack, teaches at the City University of New York Graduate Center, and recently retired his New York Times Opinion column after writing it from 2000 to 2025. And Mariana Mazzucato, a professor of economics at University College London, where she is Founding Director of the UCL Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose and author of the hugely influential book, The Entrepreneurial State.

In 1962, then US president John F Kennedy committed his nation to reaching the Moon before the decade was up. It was a huge undertaking, but one that ultimately succeeded, and also produced technologies such as camera phones and baby formula along the way. But have governments today lost the confidence and knowhow needed to undertake such ambitious challenges? That's the contention of today's guest, Mariana Mazzucato, professor in the economics of innovation and public value at University College London. She believes states need to rediscover mission-purpose and take the lead in solving problems such as climate change, pandemics or water scarcity.Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

The case, spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and supported by 10 other state attorneys general, alleges that these firms have used their substantial ownership stakes in major coal producers to suppress competition and artificially raise energy prices.

The suit alleges that these firms formed an “output-reduction syndicate,” leveraging their shareholder influence to force coal companies to cut production, ostensibly in alignment with environmental goals like the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative. The complaint details how these firms' actions have allegedly suppressed coal supply despite rising demand for electricity. The result? Skyrocketing coal prices and increased costs for consumers at a time when many are already grappling with inflation.

In 2023, professor Mariana Mazzucato told the World Economic Forum that “climate change” was “too abstract” for people to understand, and that the COV-pandemic failed to fully inoculate every person on the planet, and so a narrative shift to the water crisis was required - to do what though? Her argument used the same psychological behavioral modification talking points, too, such as self-interest messaging and community messaging, i.e., the common good. It thus can be no coincidence that one year later headlines are breaking about a sudden “water crisis.” And who is in the news to educate us about this sudden problem, none other than Mariana, who told NBC News, that we lack “collective will” to deal with this problem. She goes on to assault the concepts of a free market and capitalism while simultaneously saying that we can use the crisis as a new opportunity for investment. In other words, she wants to control the water and profit form its use. The idea of a crisis stems from a recent report from the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, which calls the crisis “only a beginning of a global water cycle revolution.” Every talking point, slogan, and choice of words are directly out of the mouths of people like Marx, Lenin, and Stalin among others - it is about revolution and reset. The sick thing is there really does exist a water crisis, but it's happening in poor India and China, yet it is the developed world that will have to pay. England is going further and saying there is also a sewage crisis now, and that residents will have to pay more for a long time to deal with corporate pollution. Mariana's name itself is also peculiar, considering that it relates to the star or essence of water.-FULL ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early & ad-free show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings-with-ryan-gable--5328407/support.

The Serbian-American economist Branko Milanovic is one of the world's leading authorities on inequality. In this KEEN ON America conversation, we talked about Milanovic's interpretation of the history of American economic inequality - from slavery to contemporary capitalism. Why has America become so much unequal over the last fifty years, I asked. And today, in what Milanovic sees as a post neo-liberal age, how does he imagine the future of economic inequality?Branko Milanovic obtained his Ph.D. in economics (1987) from the University of Belgrade with a dissertation on income inequality in Yugoslavia. He served as lead economist in the World Bank's Research Department for almost 20 years, leaving to write his book on global income inequality, Worlds Apart (2005). He was a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington (2003-2005) and has held teaching appointments at the University of Maryland (2007-2013) and at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University (1997- 2007). He was a visiting scholar at All Souls College in Oxford, and Universidad Carlos III in Madrid (2010-11). Professor Milanovic's main area of work is income inequality, in individual countries and globally, including in preindustrial societies.

Cities: most of us live in them and most of them are geared around the old values of the last century.  But what if our core question was: what does it take to have pride in the place I live?  How can we completely rethink the way cities act and are shaped to put a flourishing future at the heart of all they do?  Georgia Cameron of Dark Matter Labs lays out the visions of Net Zero Cities that goes way beyond just the carbon. Of the 8 billion (ish) people on the planet, over half now live in cities. If we're going to create a just, equitable, enduring transition to that more beautiful world our hearts know is possible, how we live, work, play and connect with each other in urban centres is going to be key.  Which is why we're talking today to Georgia Cameron, who is a policy strategist and innovator at Dark Matter Labs who is currently working with the 112 cities involved in the EU Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission helping navigate the legal, regulatory, economic and social barriers they face in advancing transition pathways. For over a decade, Georgia studies, researches and works at the intersection of law, public policy, organisational strategy, and community organisation. She practised as an urban planning and environment lawyer at a top four law firm in New Zealand before completing a Masters in Regenerative Economics (with Distinction) from Schumacher College, UK in 2021, and now, as we said, she's working with the Net Zero Cities Mission which aims to achieve ‘climate neutrality' in those cities taking part, although, as you'll hear, those at the heart of this are really clear that it's not just about the carbon, and that everything we do must enhance our connections with ourselves, each other and the wider web of human and More than Human life. This Mission is one of five within the EU - and miraculously, wonderfully, totally encouragingly, the plan is that all of these will be integrated: that each Mission will feed into the others.  So this conversation roamed wide and deep through the theory and practice of this relatively new initiative, exploring the changes in political, inter-personal (and intra-personal) and regulatory thinking that will allow a complete phase-shift in how we work, play, live, commute and engage with the world. At heart, the question boils down to, What does it mean to live well in any given city - or indeed, anywhere? What does it take to feel pride in your neighbourhood? How can those in charge removed obstacles as much as putting new ideas in place? How can all of us work from the ground up to make changes - and what are the stories of change, of being and belonging, that will make this feel like a just, equitable - and desirable - transition?

Mariana Mazzucato, autora de ‘El gran engaño’, es catedrática de Economía de la Innovación y valor público en el University Collegue de Londres, donde dirige el Instituto de Innovación y Propósito Público. Analiza la situación económica actual y cómo se debe mirar hacia el futuro, teniendo una mirada innovadora y eficiente. “No hay una falta de buenas ideas, pero a veces llegan en el momento equivocado”, ha dicho en Las Mañanas de RNE. Cree hay que repensar el papel del estado en la economía, no solo para corregir los fallos de ese mercado, sino para crear uno que esté acorde con el clima y las personas. “Tenemos que tener una relación distinta entre las empresas y el estado”. En este sentido, dice que hay que afrontar de otra forma la gestión de la innovación: “Los cambios necesitan innovación, pero hay que pensar qué quiere decir cuando hablamos de un ecosistema de innovación”. Pone ejemplos, de empresas grandes, que han obtenido grandes beneficios, pero que no han protagonizado un proceso del todo justo: “No hemos gobernado bien en los últimos 20 años y esas empresas han crecido mucho por su monopolio, por no pagar impuestos. Es difícil gobernar un proceso que no conoces bien”.  Sobre las inyecciones de dinero público, como los fondos europeos, concluye: “Si no lo gastamos bien, de modo estratégico, no funciona”. Escuchar audio

Dit keer bespreken we het boek De Consultancy Industry (The Big Con) van Mariana Mazzucato en Rosie Collington. Ondertitel: Hoe consultants bedrijven verzwakken, overheden uithollen, economieen schaden. Mariana hebben we eerder boeken van besproken Rosie werkt met Mazzucato samen bij het IIPP en ze onderzoek de politieke economie van klimaatbeleid voor haar promotie. De Engelse titel vind ik sterker  The Big Con: How the consulting industry weakens our businesses, infantilizes our governments and warps our economy. Een interessant boek over de enorme groei van de consultancy wereld economisch en invloed in de afgelopen decennia onder invloed van het neo libearilsme. Hoe ze zoveel geld kunnen verdienen en wat het werkelijke effect is van wat ze doen en de belangenverstrengelingen. Ze houden zichzelf aan het werk. Ik ben geschrokken van wat ze laten zien in dit boek met voorbeelden. Uiteraard vindt de consultancy wereld dit boek niet fijn en ondermijnen ze o.a. de kennis van de auteurs. Een vergelijkbaar boek dat recent uitkwam na een uitgebreid onderzoek van McKinsey. When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm Inhoud Inleiding: De Big Con: misbruik van vertrouwen Wat de consultancy sector? Hoe consultancy onstond: een korte geschiedenis. De omslag naar outsourcing: regeren via consultancy en de Derde Weg De Big Confidence-truc: consultologie en economische rents Risico's vermijden, beloning opstrijken: het verdienmodel Organities uithollen: als kennisvorming bij overheid en bedrijfsleven ondermijnd wordt Botsende belangen: consultancybureaus en democratie Klimaatconsultancy: een existentiele bedreiging? Conclusie - een overheid die roeit om te kunnen sturen   Partnerships en uit het onderlinge de leider kiezen - een veel langere termijn visie dan beursgenoteerde bedrijven. Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor mij: 00:00 Inleiding 08:10 Hoe de consultancy organisaties naast bedrijven hun weg hebben gevonden naar de overheid mede door het neoliberale gedachten, dat de overheid zich moet gedragen als bedrijf, met klanten. 10:40 De big four (advies) en de big three (accountants). Het begon met McKinsey die een kans bij de overheid zag. De geschiedenis hoe de consultants zich over de wereld in de overheid verspreiden. 16:00 onderscheid van kleine adviseurs met specialistische kennis en de grote consultancy bedrijven in het onderzoek en boek was beter geweest. 17:15 Het problematisch is wanneer er belangenverstellingen zijn, die niet zichtbaar zijn. 23:00 Zo komen de consultancy bedrijven binnen. 26:00 Voorbeeld van verschillen tussen geprivatiseerde structuren en niet geprivatiseerd, zoals openbaar vervoer in het het Verenigd Koninkrijk (geprivatiseerd), NL (er tussen in) en Zwitserland (overheid). 26:30 Het boek heeft een sterke focus op de Amerikaanse en Engelse voorbeelden. 29:15 Kritiek, het boek kan minder veroordelend en meer oplossingsgericht. 30:50 Waar begint de verantwoordelijkheid, bij de overheid die besluit om te privatiseren of bij de commerciële bedrijven die dan daar op springen? 40:25 Klimaat en het belang van het bedrijfsleven. 42:45 De vier stappen begint met een duidelijke visie. 44:00 De overheid is een waarde scheppende kracht in de economie. 47:15 Competitieve beloning en attractieve werkomgeving. 48:45 Transparantie over de opdrachtgevers en projecten. 51:45 Conclusie, wat is de rol van overheid. Ligt de bron bij de consultancy en andere commerciële partijen of daarvoor al bij de overheid in structurele keuzes met visie. 54:15 Het is nog niet te laat.

Mariana Mazzucato and the influence of the big consulting firms and why the long term really matters. 

Mariana Mazzucato's ideas have changed how governments see their role in the economy - but where do we go from here? Regular listeners will have heard the economist Mariana Mazzucato on this podcast before -- with George the Poet on modern-day moonshot programmes to can transform the economy, and with journalist Kamal Ahmed with a searing critique of the consulting industry. She recently returned to How To Academy to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the groundbreaking book that launched her career in the public eye - The Entrepreneurial State. The book that makes the compelling case that the state is not a bureaucratic machine standing in the way of progress, but a powerful force for innovation. What does that mean for the world in 2024 and the decades to come? She joined Hannah MacInnes to tell us more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Contrariamente a la noción popular, el Estado ha tenido un rol fundamental en la innovación, desarrollo y emprendimiento de las naciones. Al menos así es como lo afirma la economista Mariana Mazzucato en su libro.  En este capítulo ahondamos en las razones por las que la autora cree que si el mundo quiere alcanzar altos niveles de innovación, es necesaria así mismo una alta intervención del Estado. ¡A seguir aprendiendo!

British politicians are obsessed with growth. But what if putting growth at the centre of economic policymaking is a mistake? Economist and founding director of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose Mariana Mazzucato argues that it is. Ten years since her book The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public v Private Sector Myths was first published, Oli chats to her about what Labour and the Conservatives get wrong about economic policy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Capitalism as we know it isn't really working, according to economist and author Mariana Mazzucato. Take the current concrete crisis across UK schools. For Mazzucato, that's a case of too little being spent on the school buildings themselves. But there's another problem: lax regulation. If we continue to weaken the rules in the name of a stronger economy, she says, we risk tragedy.  Mazzucato, a professor in the economics of innovation and public value at University College London, joins this week's episode of In the City to discuss the re-release of her book, The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths. The book has been credited with provoking widespread debate about the role of government in innovation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this culminating episode of Austin Next's first era, Jason engages with AndiBot, the AI-powered chatbot that amalgamates the insights of 19 innovation thinkers. Together, they explore AndiBot's perspectives on how Austin can ascend to a superstar innovation hub. Later, Michael joins in for a reflective discussion on the AI's capabilities and the insights shared. Plus, don't miss our special announcement that marks the beginning of a new chapter for Austin Next.Episode HighlightsThe Austin Next Dynamic Innovation ChatBot, or AndiBot, is an AI-powered chatbot anchored on ChatGPT, and is powered by a “hivemind” that brings together the intellectual prowess of innovation trailblazers such as Clayton Christensen, Everett Rogers, and Mariana Mazzucato. Tasked with unraveling insights and forging new pathways, AndiBot endeavors to illuminate the steps necessary for Austin to transition from a thriving ecosystem to a superstar innovation hub.Characterizing an innovation superstar hub, AndiBot outlines the quintessential traits: setting global trends, attracting a diverse talent pool, nurturing groundbreaking innovations, fostering a spirited entrepreneurial culture, establishing global collaborations, and achieving brand ubiquity in innovation.AndiBot evaluates Austin's innovation ecosystem at 7.5 with Silicon Valley as the pinnacle scoring a 10. She commends Austin's startup landscape, academic strength, and appeal to tech giants, but signals the imperatives of escalating startup density, talent diversity, capital influx, and global network expansion.Jason and Michael reflect on the AndiBot interview and discuss the shift from coding to prompting in AI technology, signaling the emergence of more sophisticated and intuitive user interfaces.Exploring Austin's startup landscape, they articulate the connection between productivity and external perception, proposing that a boost in perceived value could stimulate infrastructural improvements.Jason spotlights Austin's ability to “punch above its weight” noting the discrepancies between Austin's startup infrastructure rank (25th in the country) and its high ranking in exit values (6th in the nation, 9th globally) according to a recent Dealroom report.This episode marks a transition as Michael is taking a step back from the podcast and will return as the occasional guest.What's next Austin? “I honestly believe only good things are going to happen next. I think we're going to have a recession nationwide within the next six months. But Austin, as we've discussed, is the last in and the first out. We need to keep Austin weird. It has worked so far for this town.”Episode LinksThe Next Generation of Tech Ecosystems Report by Dealroom Austin Next Links: Website, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn

In this episode, we delve into a profound discussion with economist Mark Paul about his book, "The Ends of Freedom," and his vision for an Economic Bill of Rights. We explore the concept of an economic bill of rights that has a long history from FDR to MLK the role of government in providing essential services, and the importance of progressive taxation. We also discuss the need for affordable childcare and its impact on women's participation in the labor force. The conversation touches on the historical context of GDP calculation, the importance of including home labor, and the implications of excluding it. We also discuss the cost of higher education and the potential benefits of making it universally accessible. The conversation concludes with a discussion on how to pay for these social programs, the role of broad-based taxation, and the importance of considering future productive capacity rather than focusing solely on the national debt.The Paper Mentioned in the Show- Children as Public Goods by Nancy Folbre, The American Economic Review 1994 - https://www.proquest.com/docview/233027518Recommended books based on this episode:1.

Last year alone, 10 climate-related disasters displaced millions of people with damages exceeding $3B. The time to act is now. Goizueta's Wes Longhofer and Danni Dong join to discuss the role of business and innovation in a climate-smart world.  The past eight years have been the warmest on record, with sea levels are rising twice as fast as they were three decades ago. Often, when we think of innovation we think too narrowly - new technologies, products, or services. However, in tackling a problem as pervasive and complex as climate change, our approach in the business world needs to be broader, more holistic. We'll talk today about the three pillars of business innovation in a climate-smart world: technology, business models, and education.  Wesley Longhofer is an associate professor of organization and management and the Executive Academic Director of Goizueta's Business & Society Institute. His work on climate change has been funded by the National Science Foundation and featured in the Washington Post and Nature. His most recent co-authored book, Super Polluters: Targeting the World's Largest Sites of Climate Disrupting Emissions, was published by Columbia University Press in 2020. Wes is also a member of the recently launched Emory Climate Research Initiative. Danni Dong is a dual degree graduate student at Emory pursuing her MBA and MSPH at Goizueta Business School and Rollins School of Public Health. Danni is a passionate activist working to tackle climate challenge through public private partnerships. She has worked with several governmental agencies including the Atlanta Housing Authority, Environmental Protection Agency, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Danni recently attended the United Nations Climate Conference in Egypt as a student ambassador with Emory Climate Talks. This episode of the Goizueta Effect podcast was co-created in partnership with Goizueta MBA students and ClimateCAP delegates including Danni Dong, Nikhil Mathur, Jimmy John, and Peter Danis.  A delegation of 11 MBA students from Goizueta Business School recently attended the ClimateCAP Global Summit. Along with hundreds of leading students and professionals from across the nation, they explored the enormous influence and responsibility business leaders hold in driving toward a climate-smart world.

The circular economy involves designing products and systems that are efficient, durable, and easy to repair, refurbish, or recycle.   Companies like Patagonia and FairPhone have successfully implemented circular strategies, incorporating buyback programs, refurbished goods, and modular products that can be partially upgraded to lengthen their useful life. These strategies not only benefit the planet, but also create customer loyalty and competitive advantage.   First It Was Shareholder vs. Stakeholder Capitalism. Now There Are “Multi-Stakeholders”? A newer way of thinking has come about recently, focusing on the importance of the multi-stakeholder approach in business. Central to this concept is considering the interests of all parties affected by a company's actions, including employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. Communities are demanding that companies create more value for society than they extract, and the environment is also considered a stakeholder due to the impact of climate change on businesses.   By considering multi-stakeholders, the true cost of climate change is clearer. From recent flooding in Pakistan to the longest recorded drought in Eastern Africa, it is apparent that the environment is a key stakeholder that needs to be considered. Natural disasters triggered by climate change have resulted in $3 trillion worth of economic losses between 2010 and 2020. Companies must take a multi-stakeholder approach to mitigate these risks and account for the impact of their operations.   How Can Innovation Combat Climate Change? Green hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel option for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Companies like Siemens Energy and NextEra Energy are investing heavily in green hydrogen technologies to reach zero emissions without offsets. Widespread adoption of green hydrogen is seen as necessary to compete with natural gas.  Likewise, how we move goods around the planet is an area that can be reconsidered to benefit the planet. Following the pandemic and the realization of fragile supply chains, there is now a shift in the US to reign in supply chains and bring them nearshore or even back onshore. This prompted the passage of the CHIPS Act which focuses on semiconductor manufacturing, but also spurred other industries to consider bringing operations closer to home. Such a shift from offshoring to onshoring could significantly decrease emissions from maritime and aviation shipping, which together currently accounts for more than 20% of global emissions.  What Role Does the Government Play? The government is a key player in addressing the climate crisis. The government provides a regulatory mechanism to enforce climate disclosures and spur private investment through setting ambitious policy goals.   The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was cited as an example of such policy, providing $370 billion in investments to address the climate crisis through new projects and initiatives, including clean energy tax credits, block grants for environmental justice, and boosting domestic manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries. This is aligned with the “mission economy” concept by economist Mariana Mazzucato, in which the government sets ambitious policy goals to coordinate public and private partnerships.  From a reporting standpoint, both the SEC and the EU are considering new ESG reporting requirements. The proposed SEC rule would require publicly traded companies to disclose their carbon emissions and how climate risks are affecting their businesses, while the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive would require EU companies (and any US company with EU business) to report on a broader range of ESG topics.   How Does Social Justice Overlap with Climate? Climate justice refers to solutions that address the disproportionate costs that vulnerable populations face due to climate change. This includes recognizing how climate change impacts inequities tied to gender, race, class, nation, and ethnicity and ensuring that any low-carbon economy is inclusive. The framework for climate justice in business includes embedding human rights in the supply chain, sharing the burdens and benefits from an energy transition fairly, being transparent and accountable in climate commitments, co-designing climate solutions with an inclusion lens, and investing in developing climate-smart education and skills in the entire supply chain.  Patagonia in particular has directly funded organizations working on climate justice, democracy, biodiversity, and the environmental challenges impacting indigenous communities. They have also advocated for policy changes and produced films that call attention to indigenous environmental struggles around the world. Additionally, its founder, Yvon Choiunard, gave away all non-voting stock in the $3 billion company to a collective that will use all non-reinvested profits to fight climate change.   Beyond technological improvements and reduction of greenhouse gases, it is importance to recognize that renewable energy solutions may bring their own costs, such as disruptions to indigenous communities. Businesses need to adopt a justice perspective that includes empathy for the real pain that climate change has caused for many communities around the world.  One emerging framework is the “people-centered approach” to corporate sustainability. In this framework, carbon is just one part of the story. It's important to consider the health impacts of climate change and air pollution, particularly PM2.5, which is responsible for chronic asthma and cancer.   Corporate sustainability is not just about decarbonization; business leaders must consider how their actions impact people on a systemic level when addressing social justice concerns. Healthy populations are the cornerstone of thriving economies.  Can Innovation Save Us? When it comes to addressing the climate crisis, technological innovation is often touted as a key solution. But is it really as straightforward as just developing and scaling up new technologies? What are the limitations and risks associated with relying on technological breakthroughs? Since the beginning of human existence, innovation and our ability to adapt have been critical components of our survival and progress. However, as we face the urgent challenge of climate change, it is becoming increasingly clear that innovation alone may not be enough to address the scale of this problem.   Take Electric vehicles. When first introduced, electric vehicles (EVs) were touted as the golden ticket to zero emissions in the transportation sector. The reality is more complicated. Putting aside the environmental impact of mining rare earth materials, electric vehicles require more electricity to manufacture. And of course, they rely on electricity to run, but where is that electricity coming from? Fossil fuels still account for 60% of the electricity generated in the US. Many life cycle analyses have shown that EVs are only a greener alternative to internal combustion vehicles if the vehicle is produced and driven in an area that offers clean electricity. That's to say, the effectiveness of green technology hinges upon a decarbonized grid.  Currently, 73% of global Greenhouse gas emissions come from the energy sector, which also means there is enormous potential for change. Scaling existing technology around solar, wind, and hydropower, while simultaneously phasing out coal fired powerplants is key. Widespread rollout of real-time dynamic pricing for electricity is also a way to encourage low-carbon behavior while reducing operating costs. With the traditional block pricing, prices remain constant irrespective of demand. Real time pricing encourages people to use power when renewable energy is available and conserve when it's not. Utility companies could potentially see improvements in efficiency due to a decrease in the required capacity to fulfill demand. Doesn't All This Investment in Sustainability Hinder Growth?  There is a common misconception that sustainable business practices hinder growth, but evidence shows it can actually drive growth. From a bottom-line standpoint too, sustainable practices often involve implementing energy-efficient processes, leading to cost reductions and more profit.   Companies with strong sustainability performance can attract more investment and secure better financing terms, allowing them to access cheap capital while growing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) offerings. Take the examples of Walmart's Project Gigaton, which led to almost $1 billion in annual cost savings, and Alphabet's $5.75 billion sustainability bond issuance with record low coupon rates.  A recent McKinsey report estimates that climate-oriented equity transactions in private markets increased more than 2.5 times from 2019 to 2022, to about $196 billion, whereas the overall private-market equity market declined by 24% over the same period. In addition, a 2015 review of more than 2,000 empirical studies of ESG and financial performance found that the vast majority had a positive relationship. Green business can be good business.   What Role Do Business Schools Play in Innovation and Transition? It's important for business schools to embed a deeper understanding of climate science and climate awareness into their curriculum. This involves going beyond simply offering a class in climate science to reimagining business education itself to address climate change.   Initiatives like Business Schools for Climate Leadership introduce concepts like circular economies, carbon markets, carbon reporting, and climate strategy into the existing core curriculum. Additionally, Longhofer argues that the climate crisis could be a moonshot for business schools to address declining enrollments and changes in the market, while also resolving long-standing tensions about the purpose of business.  What Do Employers Need to Know About Climate-Focused MBAs? Climate change is becoming increasingly important for business students and the business world, and employers need to be ready.   While some students believe in dismantling the system, most are willing to create systemic change from within. Employers are changing too, and companies need to be transparent in their climate commitments to engage new talent in setting and meeting those commitments.   Some employers have already embraced it. The CEO of BCG recently made a public statement calling for climate activists to join the firm, and Longhofer recalls that he's lost count of the number of alums who have reached out in the past two years because they are put on ESG-related projects much sooner than they anticipated.   Especially because of the new reporting requirements, ESG is here to stay. Employers need to take notice.   To learn more about Goizueta Business School and how principled leaders are driving positive change in business and society, visit www.goizueta.emory.edu.

How can the government attract the country's best minds to work for them? How do we know when a private sector contract is a good one? And what can we learn from NASA about business and efficiency?  Mariana Mazzucato is a professor of Economics at the University College London and an advisor to many governments. In her latest book, ‘The Big Con', she looks at the relationship between the consulting industry and government, and the way business and governments are run, and plans executed.  She joins Krishnan Guru-Murthy on Ways to Change the World to discuss how economic theory can streamline everything from school lunches to handling a pandemic, and the link between knife crime and the economy.  Produced by Imahn Robertson and Ka Yee Mak
