Summary
Llegar a la Luna fue un extraordinario logro que requirió nuevas formas de colaboración entre los sectores público y privado， un altísimo nivel de compromiso y coordinación y la aceptación de riesgos y gastos muy elevados para alcanzar una meta a largo plazo。 Inspirándose en las misiones del programa lunar， Mazzucato propone que se aplique ese mismo nivel de innovación a una serie de objetivos sociales， económicos y políticos clave con el fin de salir de nuestro estancamiento rumbo a un futuro más optimista。
El capitalismo lleva tiempo paralizado y no ofrece respuestas a nuestros mayores problemas， como las epidemias， la desigualdad y la crisis ambiental。 Se impone la necesidad de repensar el papel de los Estados en la economía y la sociedad， de orientar los presupuestos al largo plazo y de recuperar el sentido del interés público。
Misión economía， cuyas ideas ya se están adoptando en todo el mundo， propone fijarse unos objetivos inspiradores e ilusionantes， entre los que se incluyen una prosperidad ampliamente compartida， unos servicios públicos de calidad para todos y una solución a la crisis climática。 Según Mazzucato， los Estados pueden afrontar grandes desafíos y misiones ambiciosas， y su visión ofrece una salida a nuestro inmovilismo hacia un futuro más optimista。

De maneira curta e direta com analogias que beiram a perfeição， Mazzucatto expõe uma nova visão de estado que emerge em uma crise evidente do capitalismo e que demanda um novo modelo gestão， inovação e co-criacao de valor para a sociedade envolvendo as várias Instituições e organizações privadas e públicas em torno das missões que podem mudar o curso da história: redução das desigualdades， reação à mudança climática e fortalecimento da democracia。

I had to read this book for an assignment - and it turned out the most disappointing thing since Stephanie Kelton's "The Deficit Myth"。 However， there is a really interesting set of ideas at the basis of the book - they can be roughly structured in 5 core theses:Thesis 1: There are complex societal problems （i。e。 problems affecting the entire society）， which "require （。。。） social， organizational and political innovation。" They must be solved by "getting the public and private sector to truly col I had to read this book for an assignment - and it turned out the most disappointing thing since Stephanie Kelton's "The Deficit Myth"。 However， there is a really interesting set of ideas at the basis of the book - they can be roughly structured in 5 core theses:Thesis 1: There are complex societal problems （i。e。 problems affecting the entire society）， which "require （。。。） social， organizational and political innovation。" They must be solved by "getting the public and private sector to truly collaborate on investing in solutions"。Thesis 2: The agents in the free market （i。e。 the private sector） take decisions within a given regulatory framework， based on profit metrics。 The decisions are not inherently aligned with the complex societal problems at hand， if the problems do not manifest themselves （sufficiently） in the profit metrics， or the regulator framework。Thesis 3: It is therefore the task of the government to identify （together with "the people"） to identify the relevant societal problems， to define visionary goals， and to facilitate/coordinate the achievement of these goals。Thesis 4: The way to coordinate the problem solving is for the government agents to be acting as informed risk takers in a mission based economy （i。e。 outcome focused） involving public and private entities。Thesis 5: Provided the correct problems are identified and implemented this would "restructure contemporary" capitalism and "result in a more sustainable and just society"。So Theses 1-2 are self evident。 Theses 3 and 4 are a proposition building on 1 and 2。 Thesis 5 is a bit of an outlook what the author believes how an implementation would manifest。 So much for the interesting part of the book。The sad part is that instead of developing the points of thesis 3 and 4 in a neutral and logical kind of manner， the book spends quite some pages on thesis 2 and sadly enough even more pages on preaching thesis 5。As an example for what I mean a quote from page 141:"Such bold policies need clear framing， along with mandatory changes to the status quo。 For example， for the European Green Deal to succeed， governments need to redesign financial instruments broadly。 This includes directing public banks， （。。。） towards fuel[l]ing funds for _green_ projects; getting the central bank to use financial regulation to reward _green_ banking; using structural funds （。。。） to foster _green_ infrastructure rather than simple "shovel ready" projects; and restructuring investment funds and funds for small and mid-size enterprises to focus on rewarding the most innovative companies that provide _green_ solutions。"While the quote may fit into a speech at a green party rally or in an iteration of the game "how often can you say green in one sentence"， the above also contains at least one false statement （the ECB is not responsible for financial regulation - https://ec。europa。eu/info/business-ec。。。 ）， more fill words than bearable， and meaningless （but well sounding） word shells （or can you tell me ad hoc what a "green solution" is？）。Anyway， at least the author remains humble to some degree （p。 142）:"In addition， a green transition will not happen without the revolution this book is advocating in how governments operate and how the relationships between public and private organizations are structured。" 。。。more

I enjoyed this more than the Entrepreneurial State。 It's formatted and edited in a much cleaner way and summarises most of the main points from TES into a nice easy to read package。 I enjoyed this more than the Entrepreneurial State。 It's formatted and edited in a much cleaner way and summarises most of the main points from TES into a nice easy to read package。 。。。more

Maybe a sequel to "The entrepreneurial state"。 A variation on the same vision。 That might explain why I was more impressed by the first one。 But this book could still be inspiring for workers in ngo's and public-private sectors。 Maybe a sequel to "The entrepreneurial state"。 A variation on the same vision。 That might explain why I was more impressed by the first one。 But this book could still be inspiring for workers in ngo's and public-private sectors。 。。。more

I want Mariana Mazzucato to take over all governments。 Here she builds further upon on her vision that governments should take on more risk， and steer markets and the private sector into directions that serve the common good， and NOT simply exist to fix market mistakes。 She lists the many ways our economies are broken today， and advocates that we need to restructure governments around more mission-oriented thinking。 The prime example of a big mission-oriented government-led success is the decade I want Mariana Mazzucato to take over all governments。 Here she builds further upon on her vision that governments should take on more risk， and steer markets and the private sector into directions that serve the common good， and NOT simply exist to fix market mistakes。 She lists the many ways our economies are broken today， and advocates that we need to restructure governments around more mission-oriented thinking。 The prime example of a big mission-oriented government-led success is the decade-long quest to reach the moon。 Despite being expensive， the quest united the people and fed many technological innovative offspring projects that brought back the original investments and more。 What differentiates the race to the moon with today's very long list of goals （fighting climate change， fighting inequality， end poverty。。。） is that the moon was an easy problem only requiring a technological solution。 Today's goals （see UN Sustainable Development Goals） are 'wicked'， they involve everyone on earth， are controlled by a complex network of organizations， and potentially even have parties and forces directly opposing those goals。 Which scares me。 But apparently not Mariana Mazzucato。 Hence the beginning of my review。 。。。more

A blueprint for a sustainable future worth striving for。Mazzucato courageously outlines what we must do to make a society worth living in。 She draws on our successes in the New Deal era and the Kennedy moon shot to show how government is essential to overcome the monumental problems we face， most of which are of our own making。 A truly inspiring book。 Thank you Marianna！

Mazzucato lays out a very strong thesis which is a continuation of her earlier work in arguing for stronger centralized objectives， “using the idea of public purpose to guide policy and business activity”。 She centers this around the events of the moon shot which is of course a prime example of a success story。 Along the way she shows how government often offloads work to consultants and sub-contractors and that this is actually much more expensive and wasteful。 This is all a lot of preaching to Mazzucato lays out a very strong thesis which is a continuation of her earlier work in arguing for stronger centralized objectives， “using the idea of public purpose to guide policy and business activity”。 She centers this around the events of the moon shot which is of course a prime example of a success story。 Along the way she shows how government often offloads work to consultants and sub-contractors and that this is actually much more expensive and wasteful。 This is all a lot of preaching to the choir。 My only criticism is that it does read a bit too much like a business case study sapping it of some of the vitality and relatability it might have otherwise have delivered。 。。。more

Thought provoking with well articulated arguments for reshaping government involvement when it comes to innovation。 I found the book to very data focused and example heavy in its recommendations， which challenged many of my current beliefs。 I'm not convinced of the entire vision， but many of the idea are practical and detailed enough to make sense。 Thought provoking with well articulated arguments for reshaping government involvement when it comes to innovation。 I found the book to very data focused and example heavy in its recommendations， which challenged many of my current beliefs。 I'm not convinced of the entire vision， but many of the idea are practical and detailed enough to make sense。 。。。more

As a millennial， who did not witness the innovative power of governments， this book was a refreshing view that the public sector is responsible for some of the biggest inventions that we take for granted。 But nowadays it feels the opposite， and that is one reason why people are losing trust in governments all around the world。 The question is if they are able to return to their former strengths？

More of an orbit around the stratosphere than a flight to the moon。 Starts off with a weird pro-socialist/Marxist dig at modern day capitalism that has elements of truth。 She paints the government as an unheralded innovator that doesn't benefit from its successes in private investment （eg Tesla） but is left to bail out its failures; the private industry as exploiting workers by paying each other and not their workers （a masked argument for paying workers in shares）; and civil servants as being u More of an orbit around the stratosphere than a flight to the moon。 Starts off with a weird pro-socialist/Marxist dig at modern day capitalism that has elements of truth。 She paints the government as an unheralded innovator that doesn't benefit from its successes in private investment （eg Tesla） but is left to bail out its failures; the private industry as exploiting workers by paying each other and not their workers （a masked argument for paying workers in shares）; and civil servants as being unfairly constrained to perform a job rather than innovate and take risks like their private counterparts。 However， her arguments don't jibe with the rest of her thesis and sit out of place in this otherwise well structured book。Mazzucato has a fascination with the wartime space-race mentality that engulfed America in the 60s and argues that this is how we should approach and tackle modern day problems: allowing government agencies to enlist private companies across multiple domains to achieve a common goal， and reap the rewards （incidental and planned） together。 Perhaps she has only spent time in America and England and been scarred by the over-privitisation of government， as this is essentially the Australian model of working。 Her denigration of consulting firms as bloated fat cats that take away from the development of civil organisational memory is also hypocritical as she names several consulting/advisory boards she has proudly been a part of。 She is also a subscriber to Stephanie Kelton's MMT as a way to pay for the substantial costs / blowouts involved in these wartime missions， which for me is an acknowledgement that this is not a feasible solution to big government in the long term。 I do agree however that governments need to play a bigger role in setting a level playing field， directing the market via incentives towards common goals， and stepping in where those incentives are not strong enough （eg supplying public goods）。 However， her vision of the government as a nimble， entrepreneurial， risk-on， cash-splashing， visionary jack of all trades is idealistic at best and fanciful at worst， even if her thesis that the public and private sectors can learn from each other holds merit。 。。。more

If you have read Mazzucato's previous books， there is not that much new in this one。 She basically argues for active state industrial policy and leadership， but her previous books do this better。 She takes the example of the US space programme - hence the title。 But she seems to suggest that what is missing is good policy。 Which is so nineties。 Sooner or later she will have to come to terms with the fact that the denial of an active state is a matter of political economy， not missing policy。 If you have read Mazzucato's previous books， there is not that much new in this one。 She basically argues for active state industrial policy and leadership， but her previous books do this better。 She takes the example of the US space programme - hence the title。 But she seems to suggest that what is missing is good policy。 Which is so nineties。 Sooner or later she will have to come to terms with the fact that the denial of an active state is a matter of political economy， not missing policy。 。。。more

A continuation of Mazzucato’s thesis that government should be framed as an active co-creator and stakeholder in projects that should be considered on a portfolio basis - with the consequent overall risks and rewards。 This book is perhaps a more refined version of that thesis。The charismatic Director of University College London’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose， Mazzucato has spoken frequently on the subject， particularly accessibly on Zoom in this pandemic。 Much of what you may hav A continuation of Mazzucato’s thesis that government should be framed as an active co-creator and stakeholder in projects that should be considered on a portfolio basis - with the consequent overall risks and rewards。 This book is perhaps a more refined version of that thesis。The charismatic Director of University College London’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose， Mazzucato has spoken frequently on the subject， particularly accessibly on Zoom in this pandemic。 Much of what you may have heard or read before is re-stated and expanded upon here， against the backdrop of the context of NASA’s 1960’s moon mission。Mazzucato’s overall mission （along with other economists， several in the public sphere） is to change capitalism - a very big task indeed - nothing less than the re-making of society。 This book provides part of the puzzle to how that might be accomplished， and is complimented by the work of those other economists， some of whom she namechecks。Though touched upon， the book is missing in-depth answers to the ‘mission’ approach’s key weaknesses:1。 If government is central to the process of executing long term missions， how does one manage the extreme short-termism of democracy’s 4/5-year political cycles and its ‘permanent campaigns’ - perhaps through private contracts， or the terms of development bank loans that transcend the cycle？ Do we actually need a different kind of democracy？2。 Her argument against the ‘Whitey On The Moon’ critique （man on the moon while racism， inequality and suffering on earth） is that this elite mission had by-products that benefited those ‘left behind’， and oh， there were some smart black ladies working on mission calculations。 This thinking puts the book/thesis on a slippery slope to ‘trickle down’ justifications - and we know how that has gone for the economy at large。 3。 Mission thinking assumes goodwill from government。 While I am sure this exists in abundance in the civil service， it certainly has not been shown by leadership in contemporary times。 Much more likely to encounter extremes of greed， paranoia and narcissism - driven by the context of the electoral cycle and the type of leadership personalities it rewards。 What motivations will drive these missions？ Expect spin doctors to either wrap up narrow goals in ‘mission’ clothing or insert questionable elements into seemingly sound missions。 Brexit was a mission。 Mission accomplished！Mission Economy comes across as a clarion call primarily to leadership in EU countries， but eventually also to American。 Expect Mazzucato to play a role in a future Ocasio administration。 。。。more

This book is mainly about how governments can cooperate in modern business to evolve capitalism for everyone's benefit。 'Cooperate'， not 'support' as Mazzucato claims that govt role is not just to eliminate the obstacles， but also possibly to add value。Apart from the theory itself， it's not a very good book - when it comes to the author's writing skills。 Even if I was honestly interested in the topic and picked the book voluntarily I struggled to keep myself engaged as the book felt monotonous a This book is mainly about how governments can cooperate in modern business to evolve capitalism for everyone's benefit。 'Cooperate'， not 'support' as Mazzucato claims that govt role is not just to eliminate the obstacles， but also possibly to add value。Apart from the theory itself， it's not a very good book - when it comes to the author's writing skills。 Even if I was honestly interested in the topic and picked the book voluntarily I struggled to keep myself engaged as the book felt monotonous and done poorly when it comes to exciting the leader。Don't get me wrong - it doesn't mean that it's all theory or concepts w/o any examples to back them up。 There are examples， e。g。 the author frequently refers to NASA's coop with private companies or ARPA's role in global innovation。 But the execution is really lacking。When it comes to the key concept （effectiveness of being mission-driven and preferring moonshots over evolution for govt-driven programs） - it's interesting enough to read through， I encourage you to do so and make your own mind。 There are some things I totally do not agree with （e。g。 reasons why we were able to send people into space while we fail to solve general social problems）， but again - I value the author's opinion and I think it's worth of your time to get familiar with it。 。。。more

Can capitalism be saved？ Mazzucato makes the case that it can， indeed， be saved， fixed， transformed into something that serves all of us。 Using the Apollo moonshot as an example， she shows how what is needed is a mission and a will。 And as with Apollo， a well-defined mission will inevitably lead to innovation and invention。 Extremely readable。 I loved it。
