"The key problem is how to de-financialize real economy companies, and to find ways
that value creation activities (in both the financial sector and real economy) are
rewarded over value extraction activities. This will entail both finding and supporting
sources of finance that provide long-term committed patient capital, but also specific
policy mechanisms that limit the power of large shareholders, which has allowed
‘trading’ to be rewarded over ‘investment’ and also caused innovation-led growth (a
result of a collective process) to lead to a less collective, less equitable, highly unstable
economic structure." - M. Mazzucato (2013)
