Moon landings and economic priorities
What America鈥檚 Apollo mission to the moon taught us about economic management
Manuela Saragosa speaks with economist Mariana Mazzucato, who argues that America鈥檚 Apollo programme, which landed people on the moon in the 1960s, has a lot to teach us about tackling some of the biggest economic challenges on earth today. Mazzucato is calling for a bolder, more visionary and interventionist state which would take on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, among others. But would that work at a time of declining trust in government institutions and competence? And don't the UN's goals encompass societal challenges that are far more politically complex than Apollo's technological mission?
