About this episode
The World Bank has spent three decades saying industrial policy is a bad way to go -- stunting growth, creating bad signals, and facilitating suboptimal outcomes. But now, lo and behold, they claim that government management of an economy can be a very good idea, as long as it is done the way they suggest. The internal contradictions in this statist mess are easy to see, and we’re not having it. You shouldn’t either.
