Speaker: Professor Mariana Mazzucato – Science and Technology Policy Research (SPRU)
Part of the series: Professorial Lectures
The State not only ‘fixes’ different problems in the market (of which there are many) but also actively shapes and creates markets. It does so in the face of extreme risk and uncertainty.
But the failure to recognize the State as a lead risk-taker in capitalist economies has meant we have not thought through the ‘risk-reward’ relationship: socializing the risk while privatizing the rewards.
This lecture will focus on rethinking the relationship between the State and the Market and will consider concrete mechanisms to reform this dysfunctional relationship, building more ‘symbiotic’ eco-systems between the public and private sector, and achieving growth that is not only smart but also inclusive.
This is an open public lecture and everyone is welcome to attend, but we do ask that you book your place as numbers are limited.
