33:56Now PlayingPower and Deception: The Consulting Industry's Role in Shaping Modern Economy | Rosie Collington | TMR
Sam and Emma are joined by author Rosie Collington on her book "The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens Our Businesses, Infantilizes Our Governments, and Warps Our Economies".
In their groundbreaking book "The Big Con," authors Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington present a critical exploration of the consulting industry's opaque influence and its profound impact on contemporary business and government practices. The book underscores the symbiotic relationship between major consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte, and the way they shape management strategies, hindering innovation, evading accountability, and obstructing efforts to address climate change. The authors reveal the "Big Con," a manipulative game where consulting companies exploit weakened governments and profit-driven corporations, a phenomenon stemming from neoliberal and Third Way policies. This narrative thrives on the flaws of modern capitalism, perpetuating financialization, privatization, and environmental crises. By leveraging their extensive networks and presenting themselves as impartial experts, these consultancies maintain their power, ultimately weakening businesses, diminishing government efficacy, and distorting economies. Through compelling case studies like the HealthCare.gov debacle and inadequate pandemic responses, the authors illuminate the dire consequences of unchecked consultancy influence. "The Big Con" urges a transformative shift towards a new system fostering innovative collaboration between public and private sectors for the collective betterment of society. Backed by meticulous research, this book offers an enlightening journey into the core of today's economy and a compelling argument for meaningful change.
