** The Present and Future of Industrial Policy
------------------------------------------------------------
In 2019, the International Monetary Fund was calling industrial policy “the policy that shall not be named.”
Just three years later, a historic string of industrial policy wins ([link removed]) are poised to reshape our economy as we know it—from the Inflation Reduction Act, to the CHIPS and Science Act, to executive actions to boost domestic clean energy supply.
“It’s difficult to overstate how rapid industrial policy’s rise has been in progressive thinking and US policy more broadly,” Roosevelt’s Todd N. Tucker writes ([link removed]) .
That momentum was a central focus of Roosevelt’s October 7 forum, “Progressive Industrial Policy: 2022 and Beyond ([link removed]) ,” which gathered more than 200 policymakers, activists, and scholars—including US Trade Representative Katherine Tai; Wally Adeyemo, deputy secretary, Department of Treasury; and John Podesta, senior advisor to the president for clean energy innovation and implementation.
The forum also offered an opportunity to zoom out and reflect on lessons learned, Tucker writes. “From my perch as Director of Industrial Policy and Trade, five major lessons stand out. ([link removed]) ”

** A Progressive Vision for the Supreme Court
------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court is back in session, causing many progressives to ask: What does the Court’s conservative 6-3 majority mean for the current and future state of our democracy?
“It’s going to be very hard . . . to tackle changes that are existential for the United States, like climate change, without addressing the actual persons and the majority on this court,” Yale Law professor Amy Kapczynksi tells hosts Felicia Wong and Michael Tomasky on this week’s episode of How to Save a Country ([link removed]) .
Kapcyzynski, Wong, and Tomasky discuss the Court’s future, how law shapes our economy, and the positive vision progressives should move toward to protect democracy’s commitment to equality, racial justice, and reproductive freedom.
