In an era marked by international tension and global challenges, governments have responded by increasing their focus on industrial policy to enhance certain economic sectors. While the United States is often seen to be a free-market economy lacking significant government intervention, Governing Growth shows this is not the case. It charts the history of American industrial policy spanning from the Founding Fathers to Donald Trump's current presidency. The book speaks to the importance of understanding burgeoning industrial policy around the world through a historical lens. The book also offers context to Trump's unique approach to trade protection and industrial policy and the likely consequences.
