In this Ted Talk, Mariana Mazzucato argues against the juxtaposition of the state and entrepreneurial activities.

Acemoglu in 2012. With many real-life examples he gives a lively description on the fundamentals for economic success from an institutionalist view. According to Robinson, the nature of institutions is a crucial factor for economic success. Whether institutions are inclusive (such as in prosperous economies) or extractive (poor economies) stems from the nation's political process and the distribution of political power. 2014 Level: beginner Why Nations Fail James Robinson TEDx Talks
