The end of his article summarizes by saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In these doleful and pessimistic times in the United States, where fear and loathing of\u00a0 government is endemic across so much of the political spectrum, and where various anti-state ideas favoring localism, privatization, voluntarism, self-reliance, deregulation and desupervision remain so popular on the right and the left, it might seem impossible for Mazzucato\u2019s call for an economically activist, mission-oriented government to get a foothold. But I am convinced the ideas Mazzucato is advancing are indeed the Next Big Thing. Americans will ultimately reject failure and stagnation, as they always have in the past; and as awareness grows that our current failures are due to insufficient ambition for mission-oriented state investment, and unequal distribution of the fruits of that investment, the tide will turn back toward public enterprise and ambitious government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know few people will have the\u00a0 time to invest 90 minutes to view the video, but for those who can make the investment, the rewards will be great.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/richmedia.lse.ac.uk\/publiclecturesandevents\/20131008_1830_growthTheoryStateBeyondMarket.mp4\" target=\"blank\">Video of Mariana Mazzucato&#8217;s Lecture at LSE<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<pre><\/pre>\n<hr \/>\n<p>One of the interesting links in the comments to the above article is to <em>The Institute For New Economic Thinking<\/em> interview <strong><a title=\"The Institute For New Economic Thinking interview\" href=\"http:\/\/ineteconomics.org\/new-economic-thinking\/mazzucato-and-wray-making-finance-work-innovation\" target=\"_blank\">Mazzucato and Wray: Making Finance Work for Innovation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Economic Perspectives has the article I Have Seen the Next Big Thing, and it is Mariana Mazzucato by Dan Kervick.\u00a0 The article describes the main points of a lecture that Mariana Mazzucato gave at the London School of Economics.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have time to watch the video, then read this article.
