And if there's one final thing you would want listeners to think about, apart from obviously definitely it's worth buying the book and working through all of it. Well, I mean, each of those actors should be doing different things, but definitely from the policymaker side, thinking about social innovation or institutional innovation. We need institutions that will really actually then harness and allow us to have stakeholder governance - not shareholder value maximization. It was through conflict that we got the birth control pill or the AIDS drugs or the 24-hour God -- sorry, not the 24 hour God.
This is the second part of a two-part interview. Recorded in 2018, economist and author Mariana Mazzucato discusses her book, The Value of Everything, with UK Labour MP Stella Creasy. It's a wide-ranging discussion looking at how real wealth is created in our economy and how we can measure the true worth of both infrastructure and services. Mariana Mazzucato is Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College London.
