About this listen

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

Profile Image for Stephen Grocott

Dated and not well suited for an audio book

Much of the analysis is well out of date and some of the alleged facts are now known to be in error in some areas. The latter part of the book deteriorated to non-factual proselytising. Nonetheless, overall the book outlines some valid and proven economic theories for which it would be good to take into policy by Government’s.
Unfortunately the constant citing of references is not at all suited to an audio book – they should have been deleted from the reading.
