Also funny that "industrial policy may be ok in some cases but you shouldn't do it because you don't have the fiscal/administrative capacity" is precisely what IMF/OECD/etc. tell developing countries. Now the ft tells the rich world: "china does it, but you shouldn't". The irony!
This is *exactly* the kind of liberal anxieties that we wrote about in the penultimate chapter of The Spectre of State Capitalism. Could have written this edito myself. The risks of borrowing from China’s economic playbook - www.ft.com/content/b5d6...

A must-read long interview with @thunen.bsky.social for anyone who wants to understand our current moment. One of the best, most nuanced discussions I've read on US power, with lots for Canadians to consider regarding how to deal with this declining, but still-powerful empire.
"I do think there is justification for saying this is an empire on suicide watch: the leadership at the center is actively undermining the very foundations of American power." Schwartz interview is really really good phenomenalworld.org/interviews/e...

Americans, look in the mirror; this is exactly who you are. We 🇨🇦 no longer buy into the narrative that “this is not who we (the USA) are”.
The US attempting to shakedown and threaten its erstwhile number one ally and partner will reverberate for decades. Canada will be far stronger w other more reliable partners
