In essence, an economy is about providing goods and services for human welfare. But many economists and critics preach that an economy is something quite different: a cold, heartless system that operates outside of human control. In this passionate and perceptive work, Julie A. Nelson asks a compelling question: since our economic world is something we create as humans, aren't ethics and human relationships, dimensions of a full and rich life, intrinsically part of the whole?

Global poverty is one of the world's biggest problems. From education to healthcare, as well as infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions have been offered, but they are based on trial and error. Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources and hope to see change over time. But hope is not an effective strategy. How is it possible for nations that receive millions of dollars in aid to remain poor? Christensen suggests one way. The right kind of innovation not only builds companies, it also builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the limits of common models of economic development, which tend to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-creating innovation to analyze countries such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Argentina and Mexico.

El Tercer País tells for the first time the story of Tijuana and San Diego-an unforgettable story of war and peaceful cooperation, dependence and shared destiny, exploitation and friendship. Above all, it tells the stories of individuals on both sides of the border who have brought the two cities closer together for their mutual benefit. This riveting narrative gives us hope for a universal solution to one of this century's most pressing challenges and offers valuable lessons to nations around the world about building cross-border binational alliances.

Capitalism has long been paralyzed and offers no answers to our major problems, such as epidemics, inequality and the environmental crisis. There is a need to rethink the role of states in the economy and society, to orient budgets to the long term and to recover a sense of public interest. Mission Economy, whose ideas are already being adopted around the world, proposes to set inspiring and exciting goals, including broadly shared prosperity, quality public services for all and a solution to the climate crisis. According to Mazzucato, states can tackle great challenges and ambitious missions, and his vision offers a way out of our immobility towards a more optimistic future.
