Description
"The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy" by Mariana Mazzucato examines how different types of economic value are created and recognized in today’s global economy. Mazzucato argues that traditional measures of economic value, such as GDP, often fail to account for the true contributions of various sectors, particularly in finance and technology. She critiques how financial markets and other sectors extract value without necessarily contributing to societal well-being. The book emphasizes the need to rethink and redefine value, advocating for policies and frameworks that better reflect the contributions of innovation, public investment, and social impact. Mazzucato calls for a more inclusive understanding of value that acknowledges the roles of both public and private sectors in driving economic progress. Through detailed analysis and case studies, "The Value of Everything" offers a fresh perspective on how we measure and foster economic growth.
