Mariana MazzucatoEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In this episode, we sit down with renowned economist, author, and founder of the UCL Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose, Professor Mariana Mazzucato, to discuss her new book The Common Good Economy: A New Compass, and why she believes modern capitalism is failing to deliver for ordinary people. From Palantir's NHS contracts and the future of AI governance to Thames Water, steel, industrial strategy, and the green transition, Mariana argues that governments have lost confidence in shaping markets around public purpose. Instead, she says, we've created an economy that too often socialises risk while privatising reward. We explore why governments fund many of the world's biggest innovations, from the internet and AI to Tesla and SpaceX, yet rarely share in the rewards when those investments succeed. Mariana explains how public investment helped create some of today's most valuable companies, why she believes Britain's relationship with business has become increasingly "parasitic", and what a more mission-driven economy could look like. The conversation also covers Labour's economic strategy, Keir Starmer's mission-led government, the future of industrial policy, public-private partnerships, corporate subsidies, regulation, and the role of the state in driving innovation. Mariana challenges the idea that regulation stifles growth, arguing instead that smart regulation has historically been one of the biggest drivers of innovation and prosperity. Mariana also explains why governments need clearer goals, stronger contracts, and greater accountability when working with private companies. Whether discussing water infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, AI, or clean energy, her central argument is that markets should be organised around outcomes that benefit people and the planet, not simply around short-term profit. If you're interested in economics, politics, industrial strategy, public ownership, AI, innovation, inequality, growth, Labour politics, public services, climate policy, or the future of capitalism, this conversation is essential listening.

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.

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.

Mariana and Marshall discuss how her critique of consulting fits into her previous work on the future of capitalism, the failures of "expert" consultants in business and government, from Healthcare.gov to COVID, and what a reformed role for the industry looks like.

Megan Gibson speaks to the economist and author Mariana Mazzucato, professor at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. The Big Con is her latest book, co-written with Rosie Collington, which exposes the consequences of governments’ dependency on consultancies such as McKinsey and Deloitte. “The more governments and businesses outsource,” they write, “the less they know how to do.” They discuss the rise of the consultancy industry and how these companies have, over the course of decades, enfeebled governments while making billions. They cover scandal after scandal, from McKinsey’s role in the US opioid crisis to Deloitte and Boston Consulting Group’s mega-profits from Britain’s test and trace system. Ultimately, Mazzucato makes the case for reimagining how we approach capitalism.

In this "HBR Minute Rewind" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores the recent HBR video, "What is Stakeholder Capitalism? Here's a Definition, and 4 Ways to Make It a Reality" (Originally Aired May 23, 2021). See the video here: https://youtu.be/z4Kdwbdyye0. Video Overview: "To solve big, global problems, companies must rethink capitalism and how they collaborate, argues Mariana Mazzucato, professor in the economics of innovation and public value at University College London. Mazzucato, author of "Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism" (https://marianamazzucato.com/books/mi...), argues that a traditional shareholder-centric approach offers only Band-Aids. It doesn’t allow for the kind of bold thinking we need to solve big problems. “If we keep just fixing our way out of each crisis,” she notes, “we will, by definition, be too little too late.'"

Behind every protest, and every election debate around the world, an underlying theme seems to be rising anger about inequality, and a sense that capitalism itself is broken. But what can be done to fix it? What can societies do to reverse some of its inherent problems? And how should this inform governments and policymakers as they shape the recovery from the pandemic. On this episode of Global Reboot , FP Editor in Chief Ravi Agrawal interviews Mariana Mazzucato, a Professor at University College London and the author of Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism, and Raghuram Rajan, a Professor at the University of Chicago and the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and former Chief Economist of the IMF.
