Summary of the module and the course
About the Mazzucato book (note from Magnus)
The book can be bought online in digital and print editions. A report which the book is closely based on is available for free at http://www.demos.co.uk/files/Entrepreneurial_State_-_web.pdf. Professor Mazzucato’s web page also contains various lectures including a TED talk. Read as much of the book as you can, depending on your interests. For some the summary, introduction and conclusion may be sufficient.
