"[Mazzucato's] passionate call to empower policymakers to
understand that the state's role is not secondary to the private
sector is infectious."--Prospect
"A fundamental re-think of what constitutes real value in the
economy."--Stephen Denning, Forbes.com
"Mazzucato is fast emerging as one of the world's leading public
intellectuals... [she] has offered the left a positive vision of
growth based on innovation and profit-sharing, rather than sterile
and counter-productive analysis based on the politics of resentment
and expropriation."--Spectator
"Mazzucato sides with the actual makers, those who struggle in an
economy tilted in favor of the ultrawealthy... she expresses
specific incredulity about the banking sector's self-serving
statements about wealth creation... She is especially eloquent when
commenting on arrogant tech-giant billionaires such as Peter Thiel,
who claims that his wealth accumulation occurred in spite of,
rather than because of, government presence."--Kirkus
"Mazzucato's mission is to overturn the now dominant neoclassical
theory of value."
--George Eaton, New Statesman
"A fresh look at the meaning of value to the economy...This
organized and easy-to-read book will appeal to curious readers as
well as those interested in economics, investing, and public
policy."--Booklist
"A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and
growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how
economies work and who benefits"
--Martin Wolf, Financial Times
"Mariana Mazzucato offers an exposé of how value extractors and
rent-seekers have been masquerading as value creators in the global
economy. And, furthermore, how the conventional wisdom has indulged
them in this."
--Fran Boait for Prospect
"Mariana Mazzucato's insights into the current state of the
economy, and how to think differently about it, are essential. Her
new book, The Value of Everything, is outstanding."--Tim O'Reilly,
author of WTF?: What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us
"Mazzucato's trenchant analysis is a compelling call to reinvent
value as a key concept to help us achieve the world we all
want."--NATURE
