Mariana Mazzucato’s visit to the National Technical University of Athens was very successful, following an invitation from Professor Yiannis Kalogirou and the Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics, to promote her book “The Entrepreneurial State” and its unconventional central idea.

The book has been translated into six languages, including Greek. In the Greek edition, Professor Yiannis Kalogirou was responsible for the introduction and editing, and Petros Papazachariou for the translation.

The speech took place on Friday, May 20, 2016, in the distance learning room of the NTUA library, having personally invited specific people related to the field of Economics and Innovation.

Professor Yiannis Kalogirou opened the speech and the author and economist Mariana Mazzucato continued, on the occasion of her book, while a discussion with the guests followed, questions and positions were formulated.
