Recommendation

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy called for a historic US effort to place a man on the moon before the end of the decade. His speech stirred Americans’ energy and passion to pursue the seemingly impossible. Professor Mariana Mazzucato articulates a similar “moonshot” agenda to reform capitalism. In this illuminating Talks at Google video, host Matt Bongiovi interviews Mazzucato about her vision for aligning the public and private sectors to accomplish this daunting feat. Executives and investors will find valuable insights into the future of capitalism in this compelling discussion.

Take-Aways

  • The US space flights of the 1960s show that a mission-based approach could solve global financial and social problems.
  • Government must assume the lead in forming public–private partnerships.
  • Capitalism should incorporate public purpose into investment decisions and profit distribution.
