My podcast this week is a fascinating discussion with Ian Fletcher, co-author of the comprehensive new book Industrial Policy for the United States (Cambridge University Press).
In this episode, Fletcher unpacks the critical role of industrial policy in shaping America’s economic future, challenging parts of free trade - though not as much as you might expect based on his previous work - and exploring how the U.S. can protect and grow its advantageous industries. From historical successes like the Morrill Act to modern challenges like
China’s rise and the overvalued dollar, we cover the past, present, and future of U.S. industrial strategy.
