Bibliographic identity and the argument used in the essay.
- Mariana Mazzucato — Directing Growth
Pages 11–12 discuss public-sector capability and learning through practical experience.
What this check doesn’t establish
- Catalogue review is scoped to the cited argument, not independent validation of every claim in the work.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
The essay cites page 12, where Mazzucato links outsourcing to diminished opportunities for learning through practice. That passage refers back to The Big Con, co-authored with Rosie Collington.
The paper’s wider subject is mission-oriented industrial strategy. It is not an evaluation of Redbox.
