Diagnosing malaise is easy; coming up with solutions is harder. That is a central take in a recent episode of The Big View, in which Mariana Mazzucato - the academic and author of 'The Common Good Economy' - makes the case for a wider conception of economic purpose.
In the episode, Mazzucato lays out why the discipline should consider expanding its goals and how that might alter the questions economists ask and the policies they propose. She speaks with the programme host about practical ways the field can improve its orientation toward public value.
The conversation is available across major podcast platforms and through the programme's app, with a full transcript for listeners who prefer to read.
Listeners are invited to follow the host on Bluesky and LinkedIn for updates related to the series.
