This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What truly creates wealth in our economy, and what simply extracts it? Mariana Mazzucato's groundbreaking book, The Value of Everything, challenges our fundamental assumptions about economic value. It reveals how the definition of value has shifted over time, allowing activities that drain wealth, like parts of the financial sector, to be celebrated as productive forces. This audiobook summary unpacks the essential analysis of how modern capitalism confuses value creation with value extraction. Learn how sectors like finance and big pharma craft narratives to justify high rewards, often ignoring the collective, publicly supported efforts that underpin innovation. Explore how the vital role of the public sector is systematically undervalued, hindering our ability to tackle major societal challenges. Want to understand these critical arguments quickly?
