The #TorontoStar on Friday published a piece by #MarianaMazzucato and #SarahDoyle urging #Canada to adopt a #MissionEconomy approach to some key issues. I explored that idea in a post in April, just before the election. doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/04/on-t...

On Turning a Made-in-USA Crisis into a Made-in-Canada Mission

Most #Canadians are repelled by what they see happening in the #US. Monday’s election is the first step in a collective mission for our country: making sure it can’t happen here. doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/04/on-t... #Canada #MarkCarney #Trump #Never51stState #ElbowsUp #NotForSale #MissionEconomy

On Turning a Made-in-USA Crisis into a Made-in-Canada Mission

#Canada is facing a #crisis. But crises also create remarkable opportunities. Here's my new post, "On Turning a Made-in-USA Crisis into a Made-in-Canada Mission." doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/04/on-t... #MarkCarney #PierrePoilievre #US #51stState #Never51stState #MissionEconomy #MarianaMazzucato

“ … because it’s assumed that #government is not crucial to #valuecreation, only market-fixing, attention has not been paid to the capabilities and skills for value creation and #risk-taking within the #publicsector.” - #MarianaMazzucato, #MissionEconomy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing #Capitalism

“The wrong question is: how much money is there and what can we do with it? The right question is: what needs doing and how can we structure #budgets to meet those goals?” - #MarianaMazzucato, #MissionEconomy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing #Capitalism

This, please note, is where Keynesianism breaks down. If the state is dysfunctional and useless, and officials are not held to high standards of professionalism, the #MissionEconomy is dead in the water.
