She highlights that governments can and should play an active role in shaping the economy, not merely through regulation, but also through targeted investments that unleash the potential of the private sector.

"Predators and Creators" reframes the debate on capitalism, offering a fresh perspective that empowers governments to embrace their role as value creators. Mazzucato proposes a transformative agenda, one that focuses on mission-oriented innovation, long-term investment horizons, and a shift from shareholder value to stakeholder value.
