Economist Mariana Mazzucato is driven by a simple goal: putting theory into practice to improve lives. She believes housing isn’t just an asset, but a human right that serves as the foundation for everything else.
- Mazzucato recently traveled to Brazil and Mexico to collaborate directly with local communities.
- She spent weeks in the field, moving beyond academic concepts to see how economic ideas function on the ground.
- After her travels, she returned to her home in London’s Camden neighborhood.
- Despite the travel, she immediately resumed her work with remarkable energy.
It is inspiring to see an economist so dedicated to getting her hands dirty to create real-world change.
