Recensioner i media

‘Public innovation has advanced significantly in the past decade — but it remains under-organized, under-institutionalized, and under-valued. In this timely book, Geoff Mulgan takes stock of the field he helped build and shows what must come next. At a moment of strained government legitimacy, his voice is both grounding and galvanizing.’
