The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths by Mariana Mazzucato

3.0

Dry and wonky, pretty academic, but puts forth a provocative theory about the comparative role of the public and private sectors in innovation - specifically, that innovation and economic growth is not stifled by, but indeed depends upon, an active public sector that invests where private actors can't or won't. Of particular interest in sectors like medicine and climate/energy. Recommended if you like that sort of thing, though it's not exactly a barrel of monkeys to read.
