New paper with @MazzucatoM & Sion Williams-Elyesil: the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine shows public-private partnerships are enhanced by conditionalities that link funding to public value.

Key conditions for success include mission clarity, government capability & trust.

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

The lessons learned from COVID-19 matter — and can inform outcomes-oriented industrial strategy for the future.

In a new paper, @TomStratton, Sion Williams-Eliyesil and I explore how the development of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine provides a framework for future proactive state intervention, driving public value across sectors.

NEW: Is Britain really a high tax country?

Our collective tax bill is at its highest share of GDP since the 1940s

But actually, the tax and NI paid by the average worker are at their lowest in decades.

What’s going on?

The U.K.’s Creative Industries are unique in representing an industrial strength and an essential part of communities’ social fabric. But they need to be nurtured. Sir Nick references Creative Corridors, an initiative involving @theRSAorg and partners, as one example of how.

1/ What if the life chances of kids born into low-income households is mostly not about *what* you know but *who* you know?

How might this change the ways in which we nurture social mobile societies?

10/ In the UK, the RSA will continue to work with partners to replicate Professor Chetty’s research with partners (see https://t.co/ffJ1dVbAEh) with a view to building a programme of practical interventions to mirror that in the US.

@theRSAorg The backdrop is @thecommonroomgn, which served as a stunning location for the second in this series of workshops to discuss NEMCA’s investment plan. Wonderful energy in the room as participants discussed how to capitalise on the Region’s devolution deal. @h_kippin
