An amazingly lucid analysis, thank you.
lefty pos
Please give this a more suitable title rather than your cheap political shot at "capitalism" this woman is very intelligent and deserves to be heard.
Before I watch your video. I view on capitalism is government controlled capitalism. In a truly free market, the wasteful would be weeded out due to natural selection.
Aa I thought. I am going to bed now.
Someone once said, "The first task of a consultant is to discover what conclusion the client wants him to reach".
Oh, and Owen, thank you for staying out of the way. Too many interviewers interrupt. Shows you care and trust us.
I think far too often interviewers have an agenda and interrupt their guest in order to keep the conversation heading in the direction of said agenda.
@@TrentRidley absolutely! Watched an interview with Just Stop Oil from Piers Morgan and it was just insane how much of a mouthpiece of agenda that man is. He’s a disgrace and I shouldn’t have bothered even watching his drivel but there you go.
Can’t wait to read this book. I’ve always believed outsourcing of government knowledge is so dangerous. I worked as a civil servant in research and the whole organisation was spun out of government causing huge loss of in-house expertise and huge profits for private companies
There's that Bertrand Russel quote, "Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who'll get the blame." Seems like outsourcing responsibility is a big motivator.
Some politicians see success and immediately think, how can me and my mates make money out of this.
This has been the Business model for government for over 50 years
The problem is convincing this infantile government. Academics like Mariana make a lot of sense, but is the government listening? I think not. They're too busy deregulating privatising rolling back the state and making their rich donors even richer.
@@pablisimo666 🤣🤣🤣 So damn true, certainly with this government. When will it be at an end? 😕
As someone who left the private sector for the public sector, I find the payments that we make to private industry and consultants to be an absolute waste of tax payer money. The NHS is used as a cash cow for the private sector, when I know with the correct investment it can work faster, better, cheaper every day and twice on a Sunday.
Yes. Over 9bn wasted on IT systems
As someone who earns their own money by their own sweat, I think paying taxes to corrupt and out of touch government bodies a total waste of time.
@@villhelm That’s a nice thought and I totally agree that it’s hard to pay taxes when all you see are politicians wasting money. However, I think people need to be reminded that we all need to pay taxes, because no one makes money in a vacuum. Unless you’re on an island, to leave your house you have to use a part of your local or national infrastructure. Given that, rich people who have passive income should be charged premiums, as they and there businesses use all of those things more than we do. When I say “rich” I mean upward of £10MM a year in passive income that pays tax at 20% and no National Insurance. It’s weird it almost seems like the tax system rewards non-workers.
@@binkyja1 It's not so weird when you consider who funds political campaigns
@@villhelm I agree, although you can't really separate what "I earned" from all the other contingencies and actions of others in our interconnected society. Not without a lot of ideology, anyway.
Listening to people like the two of you gives me hope. But then I remember the reality of government and economy today, and I return to hopelessness.
As robert anton wilson once said. Relaity is what you can get away with.
We can change the reality, it just needs collective will Try Garys Economics for an example.
@@adrianflower3230Oh, I watch Gary too. Same feeling. The problem is that the rational people aren’t in charge. The crazies are.
All I can do is continue to expand my food growing knowledge and consider moving to Ireland.
hopelessness probably the best idea given that hope or hoping is a form of dreaming. That you hope mechanically choicelessly, not so interesting while*How* you hope is worthy of study.
Management Consultants are a key pillar of how our economy was destroyed and poisoned. I could barely maintain professionalism when KPMG came into our NHS hospital. What do they know about nursing and patient care, there are 3 letters that put together are a common abbreviation for nothing.
As someone who works in the public sector, her analysis on the situation is bang on.
Brilliant! Many thanks for this, Owen. I'm disgusted by the total lack of vision of Government. Mariana talks so much sense. A true breath of fresh air!
I enjoyed this conversation immensely. I will add that the public and the media make it difficult to make mission-based investments because there is an expectation that everything needs to work in the short term/within a news cycle. Investments require time, patience, and trial and error.
This is part of why China is thriving (relatively). Even if it's for bad reasons they have a government that is not beholden to the press or fickle public opinion. Of course governments should be accountable to people, but there should be a way of stopping the sound bite culture where everything has to be shiny and short term because it destroys long term investment and makes true innovation almost impossible due to fear of failure.
Put all politicians on the minimum wage for the next 10 years and see how quickly they will solve the cost of living crisis. As long as they are allowed to milk taxpayers for millions of pounds, they won't do a bloody thing about it.
On the topic of entire industries that just shouldn't exist, add the US health insurance industry. Imagine all the money they US could save by abolishing it like other civilized countries have managed. Just imagine if the billions and billions wasted on needless predatory companies was instead spent on public health. What a different country the US would be.
the US has the most expensive healthcare system of the world.
along with lowering life expectancy and relatively high infant mortilty rates
A few years ago, someone I was working with confessed that they weren't a direct employee and that they were actually working as a consultant. I asked why they would risk something like that when they weren't guaranteed day to day employment and they laughed out loud. "Because the government are happy to pay me £500 a day that's why" To put that in context I was earning about £50 a day at the time as a civil servant.
So how does government so radically alter its ceiling on what it is prepared to pay. Then you have to look at Treasury, what changes have occurred within Treasury in terms of the backgrounds of staff and the selection and vetting processes to bring in such a radically different ideology. Also to examine to what extent revolving doors operate between consultancy firms and the public service. Is reforming the management structures and reducing staffing levels of the public service to force governments into contracting core services to consultants, has the Act of performing these reforms an opportunity to determine a high paying career path for public servants in preparation for moving out of the public sector and into the private sector.
A retreating army will destroy anything that may be useful for its adversaries before and during its retreat. We should be honest about the intensity of ideological warfare conducted by neocons and neoliberals towards all and any state institutions. They want to see the complete demolition of the state and have all the basic requirements for living owned and operated by private enterprise and leave enough of the state operating to be their proxy revenue collection agency that they still control through consultancy firms.
@@davidalexanderlourie4371 what you dont understand is that the system is THEIR game. all these people want to play and change a game they have no control over. the UK GOVERNMENT is a corporation. you would think people would know this, but they dont. you are following a pied piper. keeping you busy whilst the corporation robs us all
I confes to having been a health and safety consultant. The money was fantastic, but I had none of the pwers of an HSE inspector and could be replaced at a moment notice for not towing the company line. Example I had to send a lorry driver off a major construction contract for floting minor safety regs. However, om my section there was a welder who just refused to observe regulations that slowed hidps work down he was on piece rate. The senior site magager kept him on' against my recommendation because welders were in very short supply.
@@therealrobertbirchall In the case of the welder, and in the rare circumstance of a properly functioning company/corporation - you kick that one upstairs. The company is giving an incentive, in the contract, for the welder to shift the risk/reward tradeoff to one that matches their personal judgment, not that of the employer. Incentives should align with policy and rules. The inherent conflict needs to be flagged and passed up the decision chain, so this can be rectified and replicated elsewhere (I know, I know... that's not a reflection of reality, but... it'd be nice if things worked like that).
@Antony Mossop with respect, that's the sort of waffle I have heard from so many college trained 'managers' who don't ken the difference between an earth and an electrode holder. It means nothing whatsoever the real world.
Best one yet Owen
She'll be one of my top advisors when I'm PM.
A relative was working at mid-level in a Government organisation overseeing, organising and assessing the ongoing results of a training programme they had implemented. It was decided the system, which had a couple of minor operative weaknesses she had pointed out, should be made more efficient. After a hugely expensive input from a consultancy team, the whole system was overhauled. My relative, whose role involved the actually carrying out of the practicalities of the programme (assigning trainees, collecting data and collating assessments) told her boss the new system wouldn't work and why (due to several serious flaws, including missed steps leaving gaps in its running process andother aspects which directly interfered with one and other).
It was a shambles for over a year, damaging the training and assessment of many people terribly let down by the new system. Her boss asked her to tinker with it as and when various problems she'd predicted became irrefutable. She tried to do this but patching the system was never going to create the cohesive system required for the assessment results to be trustworthy, or even have any meaning, or the system to run smoothly. It just caused more chaos because no-one caught up in the new system understood it, including her boss (on nearly twice her salary) who kept asking her to do much of his work too because he was at a loss how to navigate the problems. She offered to overhaul the system again, which would have been less work than trying to explain constantly to everyone how to get around the problems caused by the faulty one. No. Millions had been spent on the consultation, so they HAD to make the system it had created work, even though it had shown total lack of understanding of the practicalities of what they did, created complex, time-consuming methods of carrying out a simple task previously achievable in a third of the time and left trainees without places, or not properly assessed (meaning they gained nothing from months of work), or having to restart flawed courses the following year.
She left.
The manager of my local leisure center, run by our local council through an arms length charitable Trust, tells me that his bosses edit can not change the swimming pool opening hours without consulting a 'consultant'. Well, what do we pay your manager for? 'He's just there to take the rap if it all goes wrong' was the center manager's reply.
The vast majority of training programs are a waste of time as well. Ran by people who have never worked at the task
Can you say the company ? Not here but somewhere. It’s really important these people do get seen. We need people like your niece. Or you to get those names out. We have nothing else protect us other than Mazzacato
Yep, I’ve had similar experiences, as has my wife, in corporate America. There is no big reward for doing things without wasting huge bucks on consulting or other expensive vendors. At the same time, there are rewards for doing so.
Consequently, you are seen as being foolish by other managers for saving the company money and doing the job with existing resources. That’s what the “little people” are supposed to do.
The big consultancies remind me of the apprentice TV show, people with no expertise or wisdom being encouraged to rinse a profit out of any situation, embarrassing to watch as a TV show, soul destroying to watch it destroying our society
Superb. Mariana should be in government. Such plain, no frills points made with absolute clarity.
In his brilliant 1973 book "Small is Beautiful" economist E.F. Schumacher proposed 4 questions that must be addressed as a baseline for approval of any large, cost-intensive projects (especially public sector projects):
His premise: Humanity / Poverty must be addressed first and foremost because the rich, on the whole, can look after themselves.
1. What is its relevance to human poverty? Does it serve the poorest among us?
2. What is its relevance to the mental and spiritual health of mankind? Does it make us crazy either as a user or the consequences of using it? We must seek to reduce or eliminate demeaning, degrading work.
3. What does it do to living nature around us?
4. What is its relevance to energy and/or impact on non-renewable raw materials and associated problems?
After 50 years Professor Mazzucato ("one of the world's most exciting economic thinkers") is at least tabling these questions and I sincerely wish that we can move her exciting economic thinking to actual project deliverables.
Exciting thinking it is after 40 odd years of Thatcherite greedonomics, but it is hardly new thinking.
PS: Nice too to hear some passing references to leadership and accountability.
Would be lovely if they too made a comeback. Heaven knows we've tried everything else.

Really looking forward to reading this book. The idea that neoliberalism makes government less attractive to genuinely capable people clicks so much into place about the state of politics these days. Of course the job of being a glorified babysitter for the market isn't attracting people with any sort of vision.
Oh, that phrase "a glorified babysitter for the Market" is so true. Absolutely. If governments focussed on being the adult in the room, developing it's own knowledge, skills, and capability, rather than indulging the fantasies and obsessions of the asset-rich, electorates would get better government at a lower cost. Instead we have a masochistic and parasitic relationship with the consulting industry that prevents realistic and grounded governance, and who have conflicts of interest based in serving the asset-rich who want to neuter governments.
And a BAD babysitter at that (the kind of babysitter who invites their friends over to party and forgets about the kid upstairs) 😅
@@tbex613 More like shaking the baby!
Love Mariana and the work she does ❤
How much do you pay for it, on average?
Capitalists of the past used to build houses and communities with the profits they made. Cadbury is an example, they had a social conscious. Perhaps companies need to think like this again.
Totally. Even the rich estates built housing for their staff. Big companies like micorsoft are building housing but its extremely expensive and driving housing orices up so im not sure that that wirks any more.

Thanks for this Owen. I'm not great with economics, it's a bit of a pseudoscience to me. As a creator I'm aware that the BBC's reputation for quality is directly attributable to its lack of commercials. That alone proves the lie that "the free market will balance itself out and promote excellence" - it doesn't, that economic model produces mediocrity and pushes more people into poverty. We know that the PPE scandal was just the tip of a massive swindle. It's great to have someone like Mazzucato who can drill down on the details and expose its workings.
Looking forward to reading it.
One of the best economical policies mind of our time. Makes me proud to be Italian.

Thank you for having her on with you Owen, she’s awesome!
My niece worked for that mob who had the tracking contract from the government. She sat on her computer at home, had nothing, literally nothing to do all day except for check into meetings and got paid £35k! She stopped after a short while because she was disgusted with her job.
I bought Mariana’s book because Dominic Cummings told me to. It is a book that requires us to think/act out of our boring boxes. Thanks for getting M on, Owen.
But there is no such thing as capitalism unless you suppose there to be such things as foxes-eat-rabbits_ism, or when- it -rains- the- pavements get wet_ism.
The fantastic(stuff of fantasy) belief that there is such a thing as capital_ism, is a *religious* belief , religion being any set of related*unquestioned beliefs assumptions presumptions preconceptions and norms( those likes and dislikes that men(human beings) call morals or morality). whatever is being described as capitalism(and that seems a bit hazy) I very much doubt if it is systematic or theory based or any more any kind of *ism* that foxes-eat-rabbits or when- it- rains- the- pavements- get- wet are *isms*, systematic or theory based.
The religious loons that bleat about what they call capitalism can never define it without resort to examples and descriptions and circularity; they seem to use the term as a cognate or synonym of sin sinful or sinfulness and where there is talk of either you have religion or that religious mumbo jumbo that is called morals or morality.
Brilliant guest. I've watched her media rounds. She's always so impressive. 👍
Thatcher had the right idea - marry a millionaire who made his money in the oil industry. No wonder she was so withering about travelling by bus.
"There is no such thing as Society." (?) Yes she did say that check out her interview for Woman's Own magazine. Google it.
Thacher background a corner shop where do you think open all hours came from ( doggee deals and miss selling ) she sold off as much of this counrtys assets as she could to mates and doners and profits not going to the country. Once you sell somthing you have no control like sewerage into our rivers , Like masive profits from north sea oil going to wealthy shearholders not to our country.
Something I've seen first hand is a school district which used to employ people who could write grants, now employs people based on the new HR standard, which is skills are not important, but fitting in to the culture of the workplace is the most important hiring consideration. Then they end up with a lot of management people who can't do their jobs. After a few years of declining budgets sue to less grants coming in they turn to the one alternative that works, consultants. Much easier to hire a consultant, for not only can they write the grants and know their job, since the more grants they write the more they make, but if anything goes wrong, the management of the district can tell the board, it was the consultant's fault. So it's a win-win for the management, win by not having to do their work, and win , being able to blame someone else.
Nevermind their budget requires 70 percent to go to direct education, a little creative accounting can fix that. The audits are done by private companies who must obtain a three year contract with the district and they know if they rock the boat and point out the cheating on the books they won't get another easy peasy $75,000 for a few days work a year.
A consultant being policed by a consultant?
Another thing that never happened.
@@ObakuZenCenter Wonder what happens when a government employee posts such comments on social media and it is who they are on social media.
Mariana Mazzucato is brilliant, Her book The Entrepreneurial State" is ground breaking and eye-opening. You will never look at your smart phone the same once you have read it.
How much does it cost? She's giving it away for free, right?
One of my purchasing colleagues once said: "You pay consultants to learn from you. They should pay us."
We need academic authors like Mariana Mazzucato to interpret the modern world for us and provide us with the tools to articulate viable solutions. As someone who works in the solar industry, I am pleased that she mentions the misrepresentation of the viability of renewables and regenerative economic solutions.
You can have her back as often as you like. Rarely heard so much sense come out of a human mouth!
The big difference between the private sector and the state is that the private sectors sole first objective is profit and everything else is subordinate to that.
The big difference is that private companies (monopolies aside) earn their profits in competitive markets otherwise they expire. The state has an entitlement to take the bulk of your income and spending to do with it as they see fit.
@@olearyma57 We have, in this country, a situation where the definition of capitalistic private markets are blurred and distorted. We are told that the Rail companies are private well if they were they would act as the original pre 1948 companies and value their customers as their only source of income but they don't because they get government handouts. The water companies have absolute monopolies and are free to do as they wish. The large energy companies are exploiting an energy shortage and charging cheaper sourced energy at the same rate as scarce energy sources. In the health service the private management consultants are allowed in to charge what they like and very often do with dubious results for their work. So the whole setup is a mess. Where life and limb depend on a service it should remain government run and funded provided, of course, that you have a very intelligent and capable government.
@@rodneycooperLMSCoach Yes. I see exactly what you see. It is strange how each malaise you have mentioned finds its source/ root in the essential nature of government. Rail companies privatised with handouts.Water companies in control of the essentials for life; without EFFECTIVE government regulation etc. But government services are delivered by Diktat - huge innefficient beaureaucracies consuming massive resources. AND WITH MASSIVE CONSULTANCY BUDGETS TO BOOT.
Hence 'we know nothing' our decisions were based on the best advice money can buy. Shame you got nothing for your tax cash. SAY THE MANAGEMENT.
WE are CONSULTANCY COMPANIES you have our REPORT the best money can buy. We do not implement our recommendations - you need consultancy advice.
Government ineptitude is the source of this problem.
Private or public, If it's been run by greedy liars then the money will still flow in the same direction.
Brilliant as always and she's developed a couple of points I've missed in previous interviews. So thanks for that
What a terrific guest! I love her clarity and concision.
That's the New Zealand situation as well. Risk adverse outsourcing all the time. It's millions of dollars worth.
Fantastic....I could listen to Mariana Mazzucato all day! Thanks
One of your better interviews, Owen. I'm really pleased you spoke with Mazzucato.
"Small Government", isn't going to work long term is it... (not saying it works now)
Im so glad you interviewed Mariana. I had no idea governments relied so heavily on 'consultants'. She's brilliant. Thanks for enlightening me.
Now that we have all these consultants advising government, why do we need government?
This is my comment. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
i acknowledge your comment
I got her book last week! 📚 So glad to hear from her! :) & Glad to see Owen 😉
Dr Marianna is an inspiration for us that try to understand the paths of the new mutation of capitalism

How enlightening THX
From someone who lives in Australia. The reason the gov gave $ to mckenzie was because an ex parter was a member of cabinet. Simple

really enjoyed this - wish it was more of a conversation though versus a webinar
This was a very thoughtful interview - the title of the video is slightly misleading. But a valuable watch for me - made me think
Hi Owen Fantastic interview with yer woman so I was wondering after listening wether the reason Jacob Rees mogg was in such a hurry to deplete the civil service at west minister was because of this outsourcing of huge amounts of our money and wether there’s a conflict of interest in any ministers part concerning these companies 🤔
Keep up the great work of Truth brother

Consultants also spread uniformity through industries. Ideas such as outsourcing, de-unionizing, offshoring, have impeded progress by promoting sourcing changes rather than in-house technological manufacturing improvements such as automation. This particular trend has cost the US dearly in jobs and technical leadership.
Anyone who can talk about consultants in an interesting way deserves great credit
Mariana is awesome. So compelling listening to her!
Just an excellent video.
Great conversation
Very useful and enlightening interview.
In Australia PWC was brought in to develop tax policy. PWC leaked information to multinational clients to develop loopholes and avoidance strategies. Australia still gives PWC contracts and politicians attend PWC funded events to solicit donations.
Smart lady, to say we are being conned is an understatement.....
I work in engineering …, the number of people consulting in engineering that are knowledgeable..👍 but not at all in the field they’re consulting in… absolutely criminal
Very similar in context to my thinking many years ago. I was educated in North Kent whereby Kent chose not to have Comprehensive Education unlike most of the UK. Also, in the heavy industrial areas Gravesham and Medway Towns they would allow allocated numbers/percentage numbers of students to gain A, B, C, D and E's. The reason being they needed people to work in heavy industry. After all, if too many obtained higher grades then who would want to work in dirty heavy industry when they could do clean office work or the arts? To think that a student has the same grades as someone from a previous year but is given a lower grade due to the numbers of students in their particular year ☹️
This lady is brilliant.
Oh no...not another person for me to crush on 😭
Insightful interview - thanks. I wonder if "The Big Con" book will make the McKinsey Book of the year Shortlist like her "The Value of Everything" book in 2018 - doubt it somehow ;)
You also need to read "The Management Myth" by Matthew Stewart. I'll just quote first paragraph from the foreword from his website here:
"Don’t go to business school. Study philosophy. Fresh from Oxford with a degree in philosophy and no particular interest in business, Matthew Stewart might not have seemed a likely candidate to become a consultant. But soon, he was telling veteran managers how to run their companies."
Funny.
Thankyou Owen for getting this intelligent wise person on to educate me.
A very bright person with an excellent insight into modern economics.

One thing though, and it should be made clear. There's a Difference between the words 'earned', 'paid' and income. It's fine to quote direct costs ie. how much these companies are being paid but that's not the same as profit. Even if these roles were 'in-sourced' there would still be a cost. We can all gasp at the billions being paid out but that is not all profit.

What part of mars is Mariana from
WASTE equals anything not spent on billionaires and their boundless profits
excellent insights into the unquestioned assumptions so much of our enconomic thinking embraces. A lot of what she says about developing effective policy and government working with the private sector is just so obvious. Considering that we expect our elected representatives to have and to develop "a vision" and to lead us, while being transparent and open about their plans ( outling the best possible mission statements) . contrast this to the hiring or consultants who may not even have the expertise to address this issues being outlined. We must remove the stigma of " the private sector" naturally being the best option. as if it must be allowed to do its thing" (after all the received wisdom is often that , by definition, it must be the most competitive problem solver :-( . Whereas while the public sector (who have most likely been developing public policies approved by the People - via democratic processes) is sidelined and infantilised. Quite remarkably foolish situation of how much of this works to stop true innovation and joint problem solving.
When the nation is run by greedy liars, what can you do?
So much money is wasted in the NHS through out sourcing as well. Billions, probably. Using Temp workers ad infinitum, rather getting in our own staff, often at about 3 times the cost.
Also, Mariana's glasses looked like a snapchat filter
Mission oriented government needs a continuation of the same government with the same ability to implement their spending and policies, usually though, in a democracy governments change within few years before goals are achieved which puts the mission in jeopardy of being canceled. Do missions need to be shortened in implementation periods to convince people to vote for the same politicians?
