Synopsis

Was wäre, wenn die gleiche Innovationskraft, die vor 50 Jahren die Menschheit auf den Mond brachte – die große Ziele setzt und ebensolche Risiken eingeht – auch auf die Herausforderungen unserer Gegenwart angewendet würde?

Wir müssen weg vom Schubladendenken, nach dem der Staat das Geld gibt und die Privatwirtschaft kreativ ist, sagt die Starökonomin Mariana Mazzucato. Stattdessen müssen wir sicherstellen, dass Unternehmen, Gesellschaft und Regierung ein gemeinsames Ziel ins Auge fassen – mit geteiltem Risiko und geteilter Belohnung! Mazzucatos Zukunftsformel ist radikal, aber dank ihr können wir dem Klimawandel, der Ungleichheit oder bedrohlichen Krankheiten entgegentreten.

Mazzucato presents her arguments so simply and clearly that they can seem obvious. In fact, they are revolutionary.
Nature magazine
Mazzucato offers a call to bold, collective action. All those in favour of a better future – of prosperity that is broadly shared, first class public services to be enjoyed by all, and a solution to the climate crisis – should read this book.
The Guardian
Mazzucato argues Western market-led capitalism has failed...years of privatising state-owned companies and outsourcing essential services have left governments weakened without benefitting society or saving taxpayers' money.
