Mariana is the winner of international prizes including Italy’s highest civilian honour, the Grande Ufficiale Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana ( | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | 2021), the John von Neumann Award (2020), the Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought (2018). Most recently, Pope Francis appointed her to the Pontifical Academy for Life for bringing ‘more humanity’ to the world. She is the founder of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.

| schestowitz | Rosie Collington is a political economist and a writer. She primarily focuses on political economy, government, and climate crisis. Under the supervision of Mariana Mazzucato, Founding Director of the University College of London’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, Rosie has conducted research which has been published in leading academic journals, and has written for international media outlets. | May 22 02:47 |

| schestowitz | In February 2023, Rosie and Mariana published together: The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Warps our Economies. This bestseller has received positive international press coverage and has been translated in several languages including German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Greek. | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | In 2021, the global market for consulting services was valued at $700-900 billion and its rapid growth is set to continue. | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | May 22 02:47 | |
| schestowitz | In The Big Con, Mazzucato and Collington show that there is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today, which must change. They show that our economies' reliance on companies such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY stunts innovation, obfuscates corporate and political accountability, and impedes our collective mission of h | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | alting climate breakdown. | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | Through analysing the consulting industry, The Big Con confronts critical questions of our time: Why has the market for consulting services continued to grow so quickly since the 1990s, with the emergence of Third Way politics? Do Governments exist by design to fix markets’ failures and to enable the private sector to become a creator of value while they would represent inertia? Should cost benefit and short-term plans be at the centr | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | e of public policies? Or should the public interest and the capability to take risks be the driving force of all strategies? | May 22 02:47 |
| schestowitz | May 22 02:47 | |
| schestowitz | The Big Con is not about the public sector versus the private sector. Instead, it offers an opportunity to take a step back to rethink the current global economic situation. | May 22 02:47 |
