More on Housing as a common good (authored with @cityofsound.bsky.social) www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/pub...
Housing is infrastructure but it is not just cement & bricks. How we build matters & how we distribute it matters more. Looking forward to delivering a keynote tomorrow at London Housing Summit by @centreforlondon.bsky.social on housing as a human right, underpinned by principles of the Common Good.
📢 We're thrilled to have Prof. @mazzucatom.bsky.social CBE as a keynote at The London Housing Summit 2026!
Founder of @iipp-ucl.bsky.social & author of forthcoming book 'The Common Good Economy: a new compass', she’ll bring bold ideas to London’s housing debate.

Spain has demonstrated what market-shaping can look like: directing public investment to accelerate renewables and designing price interventions that cut wholesale electricity costs to build an economy structurally less exposed to the energy shock than its European peers.
This is what we are building with the Global Council for a Common Good Economy launched today with Deputy Prime Minister of Spain Carlos Cuerpo.
At Global Progressive Mobilisation plenary with Lars Klingbeil, Vice Chancellor of Germany, and Paul Magnette, President of the Belgian Socialist Party.
An economy that works for workers is not a trade-off with growth. It is what growth looks like. Participation, reciprocity and reward sharing are not nice additions to economic policy — they are central to economic policy.
The Council for a Common Good Economy is an international council of leading economists to challenge these assumptions and set out the economic thinking that progressive governments need.

For too long, economic policy has rested on assumptions treated as facts: that markets self-correct, that governments should stand back, that growth will trickle down.
Today in Barcelona w/ Dep PM Carlos Cuerpo and the Gov of Spain we are launching the Global Council for a Common Good Economy.

The green transition is not only a climate strategy — it can be the centre of an industrial strategy that requires governments to direct investment, build productive capacity, and bring workers into the design from the start.

Yesterday, spoke at WorldBank Knowledge Café w Arturo Franco & Alexia Latortue on what mission delivery requires. World Bank’s Mission ambition is welcome but now it needs to be matched by an operational architecture.
Working paper w @laramerling.bsky.social sets out what needs to change.
In @ForeignPolicy I set out four principles for a progressive multilateralism built on new economic thinking:

Our new @IIPP_UCL working paper with @LaraMerling assesses what a mission-aligned @WorldBankGroup would require — but the lessons apply across the multilateral architecture:

In Barcelona for the @GPMobilisation this weekend, where we'll be launching a global council for new economic thinking - more details to follow.
The World Bank chief economist recently acknowledged that three decades of its advice against industrial policy "has the practical value of a floppy disk today." This shift in thinking is significant. New piece for @foreignpolicy.com on what a progressive multilateralism requires.

If labour’s share of global income had stayed at its 2004 level, workers would have received an additional $2.4 trillion in 2024 alone. Speaking tomorrow at the L20 event at AFLCIO on what it takes to reverse this trend through a new social contract.

In Washington for the IMF/WorldBank Spring Meetings. A fracturing multilateral order demands more than incremental reform — it demands a new economic framework to underpin a progressive multilateralism. Looking forward to discussing these questions and sharing IIPP's work on this topic.

In DC next week for Spring Meetings to share a new working paper co-authored with @laramerling.bsky.social on what a mission-aligned World Bank would actually require. The paper assesses 30 National Energy Compacts under Mission 300 and develops a framework for mission-oriented water compacts.
As the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All, which I co-chaired, found: in order to achieve #Health4All, we must design our economies in service of health, not the other way around.
Health is at the core of our ability to live well, and a fundamental human right. #WorldHealthDay and #GlobalPublicHealthWeek remind us of that.
