À propos de cet audio

The Value of Everything argues that American companies have for too long been valued according to the amount of wealth they capture for themselves rather than for the value they create for the economy. In fact, Pfizer, Amazon, and other companies are actually dependent on public money, spend their resources on boosting share prices and executive pay, and reap ever-expanding rewards without offering the market value.

In her previous work, The Entrepreneurial State, Mariana Mazzucato argued that public investment has been the most significant driver of innovation and product development. The iPhone as it exists would not have been possible without government-sponsored technology like Siri and Touch ID. Yet Apple today, like numerous other companies, is engaging in a massive repurchase scheme, and for the first time has prioritized value-extraction practices such as spending to boost shareholder profit-the very initiatives that funded their software. If private companies continue down this path, they will succeed in diminishing the size of their largest and most successful investor - the state - and will destroy powerful opportunities, shrivel markets, and depress wealth.

This excellent book is a must read for the modern public service executive. It provides a good overview on the critical question of value creation.

Outstanding!

It is painfully apparent that current Economic thinking is dated and antiquated. Dogmatic and Philosophical ideas masquerading as scientific. I really admire the writer's attempt at changing the paradigm, disrupting the old and ineffective way of thinking, separating what is measurable from what is subjective, and bringing back the economic choices to the masses.
I just thought the narration did not do it justice.

Powerful new thinking

The narrator makes this dry read bearable. Really an eye opener to the ways in which governments have been weakened and allowed businesses to extract profits from everyone.

Mind blowing! A whole new perspective!

Education is suppose to be unbiased and to tell the entire story and guide the reader to search for answers internally. Marianna stirs the pot and uses data to fit her own story. As much as I’d like to support her, I really can’t.
