Notting Hill Carnival launches its sixtieth-anniversary programme this week ahead of celebrations at the end of August. While the celebration lasts a few days, the Carnival economy lasts twelve months. Costume workshops, sound systems, youth organisations, steel pan rehearsals: the most productive period is the one nobody sees, and the one nobody counts.

In the old economics, doing good is a correction. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together. Looking forward to speaking at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico City tomorrow on The Common Good Economy, with commentary from Gabriela Dutrénit, Juan Carlos Moreno Brid and Mariana Rangel Padilla, and contributions from students Maribel García and Daniel Chávez. 16 July | 15:00 CST | Auditorio Javier Mina, UAM Xochimilco | Watch online ➡️ youtube.com/@economiagesti…

The case for climate action cannot be made in the language of economics alone. Technocratic solutions cannot make a different future feel possible, desirable, or worth its cost. Where energy systems and digital public infrastructure are the technical foundations of the green transition, arts and culture form its social infrastructure: how societies imagine alternative futures, build the legitimacy to pursue them, and hold together as change happens. New @IIPP_UCL paper published today as part of our Public Value of Arts and Culture research, ahead of tomorrow's International Seminar on Culture and Climate Change at Somerset House, hosted by the Ministry of Culture of Brazil during London Climate Action Week [@london_climate].

If you sell clothes, you need customers. An economy where the poor have money is good as then you will have customers. Poor people need clothes. An economy where the Billionaires have everything may mean you'll struggle to have customers.

The strangest criticism of Keynesian economics is the claim that government spending cannot create wealth because it only redistributes existing money. By that logic, no investment creates wealth. Building a factory merely redistributes money to construction workers. Hiring engineers merely redistributes money to engineers. The point is not the money. The point is what the money mobilizes. When an economy has unemployed workers, idle factories, and unused resources, the problem is not a lack of productive capacity. The problem is a lack of spending to activate that capacity. A dollar spent hiring an unemployed worker does not simply transfer income. It increases output. The worker now produces goods and services that did not exist before. Wealth is not money. Wealth is production.

The Common Good Economy: a new compass is out today. We are good at setting goals: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate targets, pandemic preparedness frameworks. We are bad at achieving them. The compass ensures that the way we pursue collective goals is as carefully designed as the goals themselves. How we pursue collective goals matters as much as what those goals are. This book is an attempt to change the conversation: not just what economic objectives we set, but how we actually reach them together.

On @SkyNews with @SophyRidge and @WilfredFrost at 8:30 BST this morning. How we set out to achieve collective goals, matters as much as what those goals are. We are good at setting goals. We are bad at achieving them. The Common Good Economy introduces a compass to navigate the gap: five elements that hold everyone who claims to pursue the common good accountable. Links in replies. Tune in at 8:30am on @SkyNews ➡️ youtube.com/live/YDvsBbKfL… Order the book ➡️ marianamazzucato.com/books/the-comm…
