in extreme circumstances, rather than acting as a partner in creating
and shaping markets, means we’re constantly putting 'bandages' on

growth and widening inequality can be traced, she says, to the fact that
governments in the U.S. and Europe have increasingly shied away from
their responsibilities. 'We have to admit that policy steers innovation
and growth, and so the question is where do we want to steer them?'”
