We can't do 'good' in the economy with an economic theory that only tells us how to fix markets if and when they fail. The common good is an objective, not a correction, where the how matters as much as the what. Telos & Polis! Spoke w Surplus Magazine, about German edition The Common Good Economy.

The UK’s public finance bodies have real potential to drive economic transformation, but they are too siloed, too small relative to international peers, and the fiscal rules are holding them back.

Mariana Mazzucato @mazzucatom.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

In the old economics, doing good is a correction for a market failure. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together in every contract and relationship from the start. The Common Good Economy is out in Germany today.

A government cannot balance its current budget while starving the economy of the investment it needs. That is not fiscal prudence, it is deferred economic insecurity – and the UK’s lagging public and private investment are its outcome. New piece on what fiscal rules are actually for.

Fiscal Rules Should Serve Britain’s Future

Earlier this month, in his first major speech as the UK’s new Chancellor, John Healey stood in Coventry and reiterated his commitment to “fiscal discipline”. It is not hard to understand why: the UK…

Join us for the launch of "The Rulers: Corporate Power in the Age of AI and the Cloud" by Cecilia Rikap: if we're serious about an innovation economy that delivers public value over extraction, we have to confront who actually rules it.

Plan México’s targets (including water, health, energy, infrastructure) cut across government departments. Better coordination is needed across departments and sectors to utilise key levers, drive dynamic innovation and deliver rewards shared widely for “prosperidad compartida”.

For decades economic theory told governments their job was to fix market failures. If that is all you do, all you need is bandages. So we stopped investing in the state capacity to deliver the goals we set. Spoke to Capitalisn't podcast about my new book, The Common Good Economy.

Markets were not natural developments. They are shaped by the state, whether proactively or not. That is not a normative point but a historical one. The question is what we shape them towards. Spoke to Stigler Center's Capitalisn't podcast about my new book, The Common Good Economy.

A real pleasure to launch The Common Good Economy at The New School tonight, where I studied in the 1990s. My new book, The Common Good Economy, out today in USA, argues that doing good in the economy cannot be a correction applied after markets fail. It has to be an objective we design together.

Rather than treating it as peripheral, we need to bring arts and culture to the centre of the economy. Today at the @financialtimes.com Weekend, I'm with Professor Daisy Fancourt, Nikki Wright and Meanie Gerlis to make the case for art as exactly that kind of investment.

Largo Aliento airs this Thursday at 20:00 CST and repeats Saturday at 21:00. Sabina Berman and I discuss what it takes to turn Plan México, the Mexican government's development strategy, from ambition into delivery, and why that requires a more capable, coordinated and strategic state architecture.

The challenges we face, from health and digital inequalities to the water, climate and biodiversity crises, require rewriting the economic assumptions that underpin them: that taxes necessarily undermine efficiency, that higher wages cost jobs, that getting prices right will solve the climate crisis

Booking systems and fees introduced in public pools, in the name of funding needs and safety, have quietly redesigned who our pools and ponds are for. The effect is exclusion, whatever the intent, and it falls hardest on working-class families and their kids.

"Place first, not party first" is the right instinct, but real devolution still needs a centre strong enough to set clear priorities, shape fiscal rules rewarding long-term investment, & a civil service with the capacity & capabilities to ensure that what is learned in one places strengthens others.

Europe’s largest companies are seeing record profits but low investment. What do they do with the profits instead? Distribute them to shareholders, borrow to fund more payouts, and hoard earnings to maintain buffers for future distributions.
