Dani Rodrik proposes a new framework for economic policy he labels “productivism.” (Jamie Galbraith provides a brisk response.) It would use the state to stimulate high value-added production, also known as industrial policy (IP).
Nice summary, Max. Reminds me of a number of state level IP initiatives that mostly went nowhere. Have you seen "Our Common Wealth" by Thomas Hanna?
Have not.
I also saw a recent Republican productivist platform. I'll pass that along.
