Thank you Dani Rodrik & Rohan Sandhu for inviting me to give the evening lecture @kennedy_school Reimagining the Economy, Harvard Kennedy School conference on “What do global experiences in industrial policy teach us?' How to move beyond OLD industrial policy (top-down, picking winners) to design NEW industrial…

No matter how much and how often I say that neither #bitcoin nor #blockchain can be explained with my theory, the proponents won't pay attention. A revolution is a set of inter-related cost reduction, productivity enhancing techs acting across all sectors.

Publiqué un artículo sobre las oportunidades en recursos naturales en este excelente libro, editado por Luis A. Pacheco, (ex-dirigente y experto petrolero de los que botó Chavez) a la memoria de Ramón Espinasa, un ser maravilloso que también se tuvo que ir.

A pioneer in the field of innovation studies, Carlota Perez has shaped our collective understanding of the impact of technical revolutions on socio-economic development. Naturally, my book is heavily influenced by her nuanced perspectives on the green technological revolution.…

To promote development effectively, we need policy innovation; not only innovation policy. And for social sustainability, we need bottom-up innovation. Some ideas in my keynote to a South-African conference in February: youtube.com/watch?v=GPhGj5…

BREAKING 🇭🇳 85 leading economists “commend” Honduras’ decision to quit international court that places corporate profit over sustainable development — incl. Jayati Ghosh, Jeff Sachs, JG Palma, Yanis Varoufakis, Ann Pettifor, and Ha-Joon Chang. progressive.international/wire/2024-03-1…

The Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) scheme threatens sustainable development as it allows corporations to sue governmeents outside of national legal systems over sustainability measures that affect their profits. Oil companies already took advantage by claiming $18bn…

If AI’s development unfolds in a system where financial markets remain unregulated and decoupled from the real economy, it is unlikely to move us in a more environmentally, socially, or politically sustainable direction Carlota Perez Project Syndicate prosyn.org/nRWAjDA

Rethinking and reshaping health care in our societies is an urgent task. Diagnoses and change proposals like Dr. Knox's are crucial to initiate the process.

María Corina Machado Hola Lula, mira los 'preparativos' que realiza tu amigo Maduro para las elecciones en Venezuela. ¿No te da vergüenza apoyar una tiranía de semejante calaña?

New book by Keun Lee Keun Lee about detours for catchup innovation in times of 'deglobalisation' or perhaps 'reglobalisation' along different routes. Backed by his deep knowledge of Korean & Asian experiences. it's full of bold ideas for bold governments.

Un libro importante y útil que reconoce la complejidad del reto ambiental y abre caminos. Amir Lebdioui lo presenta en El Colegio de México el viernes 15

Crucial point by Jayati Ghosh! Economics is too important not to be interdisciplinary. It needs to broaden its goals to aim at social fairness and to include an understanding of history, politics and technology.

Great to have been at the South Africa conference, even if online. Three main ideas: 1.understanding policy innovation to make better recommendations 2.acting across ministries and institutions 3.promoting both top down and bottom up innovation.

Great interview!

Four headlines about the #greentransition in the Financial Times in the same day. No matter how urgent it becomes, finance does not commit itself to acting on avoiding #climatechange . Don't they realize it's irreversible?

Full tuition scholarship opportunity to do the Master in Public Administration (MPA) at Mariana Mazzucato's UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Great course for working in an entrepreneurial government (or for making it entrepreneurial 😉😃)!

With Rasmus Lema in bit.ly/3SKX5ga we illustrate what a 'DIRECTION' is for a techological revolution, comparing #Green to suburbanization, favoring innovation, investment & profitability during the post-war boom (the other direction was the Cold War)

Green transformation, digital revolution, green-digital innovation... Tech and sustainability are catapulting us forward. Can institutions keep up?

Rasmus Lema & Carlota Perez explore in new paper and Diplomatic Courier op-ed:
