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!   Further Reading/References
