We should remember H. L. Mencken’s quip: “For every complex problem, there’s a solution that is simple, neat and wrong.” But there is a guiding principle that is simple and clear, although working out its details will be complicated: We have to build the industries of the future rather than attempt to revive the industries of the past.

America already has a massive, pervasive, & comprehensive industrial policy, but a policy so perverse that it has hollowed out America’s industrial economy & suppressed the incomes/capabilities of American workers.
