In Madrid on a tumultuous day for Spain. Citizens are right to demand housing as a human right and the foundation of everything else. Not as an asset class for speculation.

Spain is not alone. We need a different economics and economy: one that sets the objective first and builds the tools and relationships to reach it.

Speaking about this tonight at the Spanish launch of my new book “Bien común” at Fundación Rafael del Pino in Madrid.

Tesla received billions in government loans, tax credits and subsidies, making Elon Musk the world's richest person. The public? No equity stake, no profit-sharing, no guarantee of affordable access.

My working paper with @rodrikdani has now been published in Industrial and Corporate Change. It explores the conditionalities—profit-sharing, reinvestment requirements, knowledge transfer—that can ensure industrial policy delivers public value, not just private wealth. [LINK IN NEXT POST]

Today, speaking at @SocialEnt_UK's
Social Value Leaders Summit on The Common Good Economy-a framework for understanding what 'good' looks like in economics.

To maximise the creation of public value, you need to define what 'good' looks like. A topic neoclassical economics has struggled to do convincingly. The book provides five compass points as preconditions: purpose and directionality, co-creation and participation, collective learning and knowledge sharing, access for all and reward sharing, transparency and accountability.

“🇩🇰has proposed a really modest wealth tax on the super rich of 0.5%.
There are people who say it would be an economic disaster.
It’s absurd. Does anybody think that if you tax Bill Gates by 0.5%, he will stop working?” - @JosephEStiglitz at @EUparliament

Inspiring to see @LulaOficial and @sanchezcastejon lead a coalition defending multilateralism and international law against Trump's war on Iran.

In addition to the sovereignty and solidarity principles they're championing, we need clarity on the economic framework that underpins this new multilateralism—moving from market-fixing to market-shaping, reforming the global debt architecture, strengthening state capacity to align finance with development goals.

It's more urgent than ever. We’ll be building on our work with Brazil, Spain, and South Africa over the last year, as we wrote about in our joint letter in the @FT ➡️ https://t.co/tnwGc1fve8

🆕 Market-Shaping States

The latest working paper by @IIPP_UCL Director @MazzucatoM and Co-Deputy Director Rainer Kattel proposes a new theory of public sector capacities and capabilities, reframing the state as capable of shaping futures.

If labour's share of global income had stayed at its 2004 level, workers would have received an additional US$2.4 trillion in 2024 alone. This isn't the inevitable result of technological change—it's a political choice about who shares in the risks and rewards of collective value creation.

New working paper with Rainer Kattel: governments are stuck using frameworks designed to fix market failures. But climate, inequality and technological transformation require shaping collective futures—not patching up existing ones.

Market-Shaping States reframes the state as a co-creator of public value, not just a market corrector. This requires capabilities to set direction, coordinate across silos, experiment under uncertainty and learn from what works.

New working paper with Rainer Kattel: Market-Shaping States.

Governments face a paradox—they need stability to sustain direction over time, yet agility to adapt when conditions change. These aren't opposing forces. They're complementary capabilities that must work together.

We present a framework showing how structural capacities, organisational routines and dynamic capabilities interact to create public value. Strong strategy without learning leads to rigidity. Strong delivery without direction leads to fragmentation.

We rarely think of economics as scandalous, but maybe we should. Sam Bowles, in conversation with @sndurlauf & @ethanbdm, argues that a core assumption in the field impedes moral reasoning about wealth redistribution. Watch the full panel → https://t.co/OBAwhPCtXX

Trump’s equity stakes in Intel are not an Entrepreneurial State in action. If Trump’s team is serious about the ‘art of the deal,’ it starts with ensuring public investments deliver public value, not extortionate shareholder profit.

A major new initiative to tackle the twin crises of our era: climate breakdown & the affordability crisis. 

To meet these challenges, we need a new era of democratic planning.
