The Entrepreneurial State

Comrade David joins us to complete his Holy Trinity of appearances on Red Library to discuss The Entrepreneurial State by Mariana Mazzucato. This is the first of a two-part series on the state within capitalist modes of production with part 2 coming soon on Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin's The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire.   We talk about the historical role of the state in investing in key areas of technological development, the public/private distinction in capitalism, existentialism, why we give up our freedom, the animal spirits of capitalism, and much more!   Further Reading/References Lost Horizons Podcasting Network Mariana Mazzucato The Entrepreneurial State The Political Economy of American Empire Mazzucato's Demos Report Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation DARPA Dubai Police Start Training on Flying Bikes John Maynard Keynes Joseph Schumpeter Etienne de la Boetie Erich Fromm Externalities Governmentality RAND Corporation RAND Report on Shining Path in Peru John Smith's Imperialism in the 21st Century ------------------------------------------------ Email us at [email protected]   Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod   Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes    Click here to find Red Library on Facebook   Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front
