Mariana MazzucatoGUEST
So these are just sectors, right? What is actually the goal for an economy? I've been writing for some time that the point of industrial strategy should actually be about solving missions, goals that are as bold as going to the moon and back in a short amount of time, but on Earth.
Mariana MazzucatoGUEST
What does it mean to have a mission orientation that actually addresses the big challenge we have today, which is an unhealthy planet in crisis? and have a mission as bold as the one that Mia Motley, the prime minister of Barbados, has set her own government to become a clean and beautiful large ocean state, not a small island state, championing sustainable development locally and globally with the goal of domestic activities becoming 100% sustainable by 2035.
Mariana MazzucatoGUEST
What is the role of culture in that? What is the role of housing in that? What is the role of energy in that? So that idea of having an intersectoral relationship transformation, going to the moon was not just aerospace, it was materials, electronics, food, they had to solve all these problems along the way.
Mariana MazzucatoGUEST
So that idea of a problem-solving economy and really also having culture be at the center defining what these problems are.

I'm
Monet SunGUEST
so proud of our leadership, like our prime minister, Mia Motley, like she's, she's done really, really amazing things.
Monet SunGUEST
Like there was a ceremony in, held with Ghana to like return the bones of some of our ancestors back to like where they belong like that is insane if you think about it that's something like like you know even my great-grandfather probably couldn't even think like why that people would care about you know so i think that those places are just they're connected off rip so it's just natural that you know you get a feeling of like intrigue or longing when you think about like wow like i wonder how much history that we've lost or how much history there is to reclaim and like because you've lost it and you reclaim it like it's not this it's the same history but it's not because you're looking at it through a different lens And then again, like there's another story of the people that, you know, my ancestors that were in Africa and they were brought to the Caribbean and then the ancestors that decided to willfully leave the Caribbean and come here.
Monet SunGUEST
That's a whole nother story.
Mike ReidGUEST
Um, so I think there's two ways of answering the question.
Mike ReidGUEST
W- maybe I'll take a digression i- if it's okay and, and sort of highlight one of the, one of the things that we describe in the book is, is lessons that could be learned from Mia Mottley.
Ben PlumleyHOST
Yeah.
Ben PlumleyHOST
Yeah.
Mike ReidGUEST
... are, are, are high-income country responsible.
Mike ReidGUEST
Like, you know, if you look at, you know, s- greenhouse gas emissions over the last 200 years, most of it is coming from the Global North.
Mike ReidGUEST
Um, and, and so what Mia Mottley makes the case for is, like, why are we carrying the burden [laughs] of this and continuing to have to pay the burden, where actually it's greenhouse gas consumption and emissions in, in the northern hemisphere that are driving many of the, um, the, the health sequela- or not, not just health, but sort of, um, climate sequelae-
Ben PlumleyHOST
Mm.
