Synopsis

Desde la perspectiva capitalista, siempre se ha considerado que el sector privado es innovador, dinámico y competitivo, mientras que el Estado desempeña un rol más estático, interviniendo en el mercado tan solo para subsanar posibles fallos en el desarrollo de sus actividades.

La economista Mariana Mazzucato se encarga de desmontareste falso mito ampliamente extendido para demostrar que el Estado no es un lento y conservador ente burocrático, sino todo lo contrario: es la organización más emprendedora del mercado y la que asume inversiones de mayor riesgo.

Mazzucato no se limita a exponer argumentos teóricos y ofrece casos reales.

Read her book. It will challenge your thinking.
Forbes
Mazzucato is right to argue that the state has played a central role in producing game-changing breakthroughs.
The Economist
This book has a controversial thesis. But it is basically right.
