[Spanish] - El valor de las cosas: Quién produce y quién gana en la economía global
¿En qué mundo queremos vivir? Mariana Mazzucato, la economista del momento, prende la mecha de un debate necesario. «Mucho ojo con Mazzucato, la economista más temible del mundo.» Helen Rumbelow, The Times ¿Quién crea realmente la riqueza? ¿Qué actividades la impulsan? ¿Cuáles se limitan a extraerla? ¿Cuáles la destruyen? Nuestras economías tienden a premiar la extracción de valor antes que su creación -el proceso productivo que verdaderamente impulsa una economía y una sociedad saludables-, y la diferencia entre ambos conceptos se ha desdibujado de manera notable. A partir de ejemplos que van desde Silicon Valley hasta el sector financiero pasando por las grandes farmacéuticas, Mariana Mazzucatomuestra de manera magistral cómo las nociones borrosas que tenemos del valor han permitido a ciertos actores de la economía retratarse a sí mismos como generadores de valor, mientras que en realidad se limitan a mover el existente o, lo que es peor, a destruirlo. Tendemos a perder de vista la auténtica naturaleza del valor y por qué es importante, cuestiones que en el pasado estuvieron en el centro del pensamiento económico y que, sencillamente, ya no se discuten. Si queremos reemplazar el actual sistema parasitario por otrosostenible que funcione para todos, es urgente y necesario repensar el origen de la riqueza y responder las preguntas clave de Mazzucato, que nos llevan al verdadero gran interrogante: ¿en qué mundo queremos vivir? La crítica ha dicho: «Mazzucato nos obliga a cuestionar creencias arraigadas sobre cómo funcionan las economías y quién se beneficia en realidad. Este libro agrega valor en sí mismo.» Martin Wolf, Financial Times «Uno de loslibros de economía más incisivos de los últimos tiempos.» Jeffrey Madrick, The New York Review of Books «Las ideas de Mazzucato son combustible para un debate creciente sobre qué parte de la riqueza del país debería estar a manos del sector privado.» Rana Foroohar, Time «Rápidamente Mazzucato se está situando entre los intelectuales públicos más importantes del mundo.Le ha ofrecido a la izquierda una visión positiva del crecimiento basada en la innovación y la participación en los beneficios.» The Spectator «Un libro oportuno sobre conceptos cruciales que se han esfumado del discurso dominante. Una denuncia de cómo los extractores de valor y los buscadores de renta se han disfrazado de creadores de valor en la economía global.» Fran Boait, Prospect «Alguien debería hacer un musical de este libro. Eso es bastante improbable, lo reconozco, pero no tanto como parece. En 1893, el teatro Savoy organizó la penúltima opereta de Gilbert y Sullivan, Utopia, Limited. Es horade volver a trabajar en la idea y Mariana Mazzucato es candidata para escribir el libreto.» Philip Collins, The Times «Una reflexión fundamental sobre qué constituye el verdadero valor en la economía.» Stephen Denning, Forbes «Una mirada fresca al significado del valor en economía. Este libro accesible seducirá a cualquier lector curioso.» Booklist

Die große Consulting-Show: Wie die Beratungsbranche unsere Unternehmen schwächt
Es gab Zeiten, da haben Berater einfach Firmen beraten, heute steuern sie in vielen LAndern die RegierungsgeschAfte und beeinflussen die Gesetzgebung. Das Outsourcing von staatlichen Aufgaben hat exorbitant zugenommen, Unsummen an Steuergeldern fließen in die Consulting-Industrie. Ein undurchschaubares System von VertrAgen ist entstanden und macht die Frage nach Verantwortlichkeiten kompliziert. Dies ist eine sehr gefAhrliche Entwicklung, sagt StarOkonomin Mariana Mazzucato: Je mehr der Staat an Ressourcen und Wissen verliert, umso mehr verlernt er, seine eigenen Aufgaben zu erfUllen. Gemeinsam mit Rosie Collington enthUllt sie das ganze Ausmaß der Machtverschiebung, legt die AbhAngigkeiten offen und zeigt, wie der Offentliche Sektor und damit unsere Demokratie wieder gestArkt werden kOnnen.

The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Wa
Brought to you by Penguin. There is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today which must change. Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington show that our economies' reliance on companies such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY stunts innovation, obfuscates corporate and political accountability and impedes our collective mission of halting climate breakdown. The 'Big Con' describes the confidence trick the consulting industry performs in contracts with hollowed-out and risk-averse governments and shareholder value-maximizing firms. It grew from the 1980s and 1990s in the wake of reforms by both the neoliberal right and Third Way progressives, and it thrives on the ills of modern capitalism, from financialization and privatization to the climate crisis. It is possible because of the unique power that big consultancies wield through extensive contracts and networks - as advisors, legitimators and outsourcers - and the illusion that they are objective sources of expertise and capacity. To make matters worse, our best and brightest graduates are often redirected away from public service into consulting. In all these ways, the Big Con weakens our businesses, infantilizes our governments and warps our economies. Mazzucato and Collington expertly debunk the myth that consultancies always add value to the economy. With a wealth of original research, they argue brilliantly for investment and collective intelligence within all organizations and communities, and for a new system in which public and private sectors work innovatively for the common good. We must recalibrate the role of consultants and rebuild economies and governments that are fit for purpose. ©2023 Mariana Mazzucato (P)2023 Penguin Audio

Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism
Brought to you by Penguin. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the 'moonshot' programmes which successfully co-ordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time. We must, she argues, rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and above all recover a sense of public purpose. Mission Economy, whose ideas are already being adopted around the world, offers a way out of our impasse to a more optimistic future.

Mission: Auf dem Weg zu einer neuen Wirtschaft
Was wAre, wenn die gleiche Innovationskraft, die vor 50 Jahren die Menschheit auf den Mond brachte - die große Ziele setzt und ebensolche Risiken eingeht – auch auf die Herausforderungen unserer Gegenwart angewendet wUrde? Wir mUssen weg vom Schubladendenken, nach dem der Staat das Geld gibt und die Privatwirtschaft kreativ ist, sagt die StarOkonomin Mariana Mazzucato. Stattdessen mUssen wir sicherstellen, dass Unternehmen, Gesellschaft und Regierung ein gemeinsames Ziel ins Auge fassen – mit geteiltem Risiko und geteilter Belohnung! Mazzucatos Zukunftsformel ist radikal, aber dank ihr kOnnen wir dem Klimawandel, der Ungleichheit oder bedrohlichen Krankheiten entgegentreten. Mariana Mazzucato bietet etwas, das sowohl breit gefAchert als auch pointiert ist: eine fesselnde neue Geschichte darUber, wie man eine wUnschenswerte Zukunft schaffen kann.« New York Times

Wie kommt der Wert in die Welt?: Von Schöpfern und Abschöpfern
Wir leben in einem parasitären System. Darin ist die schnelle Mitnahme von Gewinn, Shareholderdividenden und Bankerboni attraktiver als das Schaffen von Wert, als der produktive Prozess, der eine gesunde Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft antreibt. Wir verwechseln die Schöpfer mit den Abschöpfern und haben den Blick dafür verloren, was wirklich Wohlstand schafft. Die renommierte amerikanisch-italienische Ökonomin Mariana Mazzucato stellt in ihrem neuen Buch die für die Veränderung unseres Wirtschaftssystems entscheidende Frage: Wer schöpft Werte und wer zerstört sie? Im Kern geht es darum, in welcher Welt wir eigentlich leben wollen. Wir brauchen einen neuen Kapitalismus, von dem alle etwas haben!

The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Value of Everything by Mariana Mazzucato. Who really creates wealth in our world? And how do we decide the value of what they do? At the heart of today's financial and economic crisis is a problem hiding in plain sight. In modern capitalism, value-extraction is rewarded more highly than value-creation: the productive process that drives a healthy economy and society. From companies driven solely to maximize shareholder value to astronomically high prices of medicines justified through big pharma's 'value pricing', we misidentify taking with making, and have lost sight of what value really means. Once a central plank of economic thought, this concept of value - what it is, why it matters to us - is simply no longer discussed. Yet, argues Mariana Mazzucato in this penetrating and passionate new book, if we are to reform capitalism - radically to transform an increasingly sick system rather than continue feeding it - we urgently need to rethink where wealth comes from. Which activities create it, which extract it, which destroy it? Answers to these questions are key if we want to replace the current parasitic system with a type of capitalism that is more sustainable, more symbiotic - that works for us all. The Value of Everything will reignite a long-needed debate about the kind of world we really want to live in.

The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Entrepreneurial State by Mariana Mazzucato, read by Amy Finegan. According to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the dynamic entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way. But what if all this was wrong? What if, from Silicon Valley to medical breakthroughs, the public sector has been the boldest and most valuable risk-taker of all? 'A brilliant book' Martin Wolf, Financial Times 'One of the most incisive economic books in years' Jeff Madrick, New York Review of Books 'Mazzucato is right to argue that the state has played a central role in producing game-changing breakthroughs' Economist

The Value of Everything: Who Makes and Who Takes from the Real Economy
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.
