In their article, @mazzucatom.bsky.social and Lorenza Monaco argue that to avoid reproducing the mainstream view of state intervention, industrial strategy should fundamentally rethink the role of the state as market shaper, not a market fixer.

Re-sharing this as nice conclusion to last term ♥️
How can industrial strategy be updated to address the challenges faced by countries in the Global South?
