Even before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answer to the different challenges facing the world—from those related to health to digital privacy to the climate crisis.

Taking inspiration from President Kennedy’s "moonshot" programs that successfully coordinated public and private sectors to put a man on the moon, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest social and political issues of our time. 

"One of the most influential economists in the world" (Wired), Mazzucato advises policy makers around the world on innovation-led inclusive and sustainable growth. In this livestream event, she will offer a way out of our impasse to a more optimistic future. She will argue that we need to rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and above all recover a sense of public purpose.
