The value of everything
Book • 2018
Mariana Mazzucato's "The Value of Everything" challenges conventional economic thinking by questioning how we measure value and who benefits from it.
She argues that the current system undervalues public goods and services, leading to underinvestment in crucial areas.
Mazzucato advocates for a more inclusive approach to value creation, recognizing the contributions of both the public and private sectors.
The book explores the role of innovation and the importance of considering the social and environmental impacts of economic activity.
It calls for a fundamental shift in how we understand and measure value, moving beyond a narrow focus on market prices.
