With governments spending on a massive scale to save industries and mitigate the economic fallout from COVID-19, they should be positioning their economies for a more sustainable future. Fortunately, far from remaining taboo, using state aid to change private-sector behavior has become common sense.Managed capitalism for public purpose versus neoliberalism as government favoring capital accumulation and preservation for unlimited growth and expecting "trickle down."

Ooooh oooh: Mariana Mazzucato says we need "sustainable and inclusive" growth.
I've read her books and plenty of her articles. Basically she's just a charlatan (like many in academia) who trotts out meaninglesss fashionable words like sustainable, inclusive, democratize, and so on.
Certainly any old fashionable phrase will fool 95% of the population, whether it's Allahu Akbar, Sieg Heil, or you name it.
