Comrade David joins us to complete his
Holy Trinity of appearances on Red Library to discuss The
Entrepreneurial State by Mariana
Mazzucato. This is the first of a two-part series on the state
within capitalist modes of production with part 2 coming soon on
Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin's The Making of Global
Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire.
We talk about the historical role of
the state in investing in key areas of technological development,
the public/private distinction in capitalism, existentialism, why
we give up our freedom, the animal spirits of capitalism, and much
more!
