Dear reader,
The COVID recession, the supply chain crisis, and the desperate
need for renewable energy have triggered new thinking on the need to
establish an industrial policy for America that didn't just talk about
reclaiming technological leadership and domestic manufacturing, but
actually put resources toward getting it done. After the CHIPS and
Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the bipartisan
infrastructure law, hundreds of billions of dollars have been targeted
towards implementation.
But the challenges are immense.
The Prospect has been arguing for this revitalization of the industrial
base for decades, led by our co-founder and co-editor, Robert Kuttner.
Now that Washington has finally come around to his position, Kuttner
looks at how the government must navigate numerous pitfalls to build an
industrial policy that works.
Will the private sector, fueled by government subsidies, create
good-paying, union jobs that benefit communities? Will we bring this
industrial revolution to fruition and balance environmental safety with
the practical disruption? Will we harmonize economic nationalism with a
set of geopolitical concerns that always seem to take precedence?
