Speaking this week on the Capitalisn't podcast, the heterodox economist Mariana Mazzucato unpacks her new book *The Common Good Economy*, and how its thesis reframes "efficiency" as a *productivity* question: capitalisnt.com/episodes/can...

Mazzucato describes how the economic fetish for efficiency and growth lacks *specificity*. Organizing a society around "growth" leads to a financialized economy, in which firms post growth by selling off the things they need to survive: pluralistic.net/2024/05/23/s...

It leads to an enshittification economy, where firms "grow" by making their products worse, as when Google adds five more ads to every Youtube video and makes search worse so you'll have to keep refining your queries, loading fresh ads every time: pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/n...
