Backlight - Season 25 Episode 11 Consultant in power
and talk to Mariana Mazzucato about her book The Big Con, about how consultants are weakening our companies, hollowing out our governments and harming our economies. Young talent prefers a consultant job massively over working for the government. As a result, there is little to no knowledge with governments. The consultancy industry is cleverly immersed in that gap, not only issuing advice, but also implementing policy. Large consultancies give the impression that they offer objective expertise, but their goal is mainly to make the government dependent for as long as possible.
