The Big Con

In "The Big Con," Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington investigate the powerful consulting industry and its detrimental impact on business and government management. By examining the deep ties between major consulting firms and modern capitalist practices, they reveal how this reliance undermines innovation and accountability while exacerbating issues like the climate crisis. Through compelling case studies and original research, the authors argue for a reformed system where public and private sectors collaborate effectively for the common good, seeking to challenge the status quo of consulting practices.
