In contrast to what observers have frequently argued, this timely
and thought provoking book suggests that the concept of industrial
policy is not alien to the American past and present.The debate on
this topic in the US has always been full of contradictory rhetoric
and policy practices, and the expert authors therefore acknowledge
a need to rethink the traditional antagonist positions. They
illustrate that contemporary markets continue to demand to be fixed
by government policies, and governments continue to show how
fixing-the-market policies might fail. The conclusion is that the
future of industrial policy is about how to make both markets and
governments better in their functioning, but that the real goal for
industrial policy is to make better-market and better-government
policies consistent with the goal of building a better society.
Affirming that it is time to break the taboo and discuss the
nation's goals, targets, and tools to develop a new, effective
American industrial policy, this pathbreaking book will prove a
thought provoking and challenging read for students, academics and
policymakers with an interest in political economy and industrial
policy, public sector and international economics. For a video of
