Legacy of Love No. 8: Mariana Mazzucato

Because true wealth isn’t built in banks—it’s born in the hands, hearts, and rhythms of the people.

Mariana Mazzucato isn’t just an economist—

She’s a systems alchemist.

A rebel scholar.

A woman who dared to ask:

Who told us that value belongs to those who extract it?

While the world bows to capital and illusion,

Mariana pulls back the veil—

Exposing the truth that care, creativity, and collective purpose are the real currencies of our time.

She teaches that the people who raise children, grow food, heal bodies, teach generations, and imagine better futures—are the true architects of value.

And yet? The systems call them expendable.

Invisible.

Unpaid or underpaid.

Not on her watch.

With books like The Value of Everything and Mission Economy, she doesn’t just critique the system—

She redesigns it.

She invites governments to think like dreamers again.

She encourages long-term visions that center climate care, human dignity, equity, and bold public imagination.

She leads with mind, magic, and mission.

As a woman raising four children,

As someone building circles and communities centered in healing, truth, and liberation,

I feel her fire.

She’s out of the box.

She’s unafraid to rattle the status quo.

She sets goals not for applause, but for transformation.

And I adore her for it.

Mariana, your work reminds me that the revolution isn’t always loud—it’s strategic.

It’s data-rich and spirit-fed.

It’s the mothering of new structures that serve all of us.

Thank you for calling bullshit with brilliance.

For naming what’s been hidden.

For anchoring your vision in the long game.

You are a Legacy of Love—

rooted in purpose, rising with grace, and reshaping the world with your words.
