The Entrepreneurial State in developing countries

The Entrepreneurial State by Mariana Mazzucato demonstrated that the state has the capacity to generate and promote innovation. The argument in the book is developed by scrutinising the economic and development history of the 20th century of the most successful economies around the globe, in which the role of the state has been central.​ The talk is chaired by Dr Carolina Alves Associate Professor in Economics at UCL IIPP, in conversation with Dr Farwa Sial, Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer - Development Finance, EURODAD, Dr Lucia Pradella, Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy, King's College London and Prof. Julio D. Dávila, UCL Professor of Urban Policy and International Development.
