The Big Con

In this compelling audiobook, Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington explore the deep-rooted influence of the consulting industry on modern business and government, revealing how it impacts innovation, accountability, and efforts to address climate change. They critically examine the growth of the industry since the 1980s and its role in shaping contemporary capitalism, while advocating for a shift towards more collective and purpose-driven economic systems. Drawing on original research, the authors emphasize the importance of investing in public and community initiatives to build more effective and responsive institutions.
