About this audiobook
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Entrepreneurial State by Mariana Mazzucato, read by Amy Finegan.
According to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the dynamic entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way. But what if all this was wrong?

'A brilliant book' Martin Wolf, Financial Times
'One of the most incisive economic books in years' Jeff Madrick, New York Review of Books
'Mazzucato is right to argue that the state has played a central role in producing game-changing breakthroughs' Economist
