“Industrial policies today can only be effective to the degree that America enhances, maintains and protects the deep well of advanced research that has buttressed the nation’s prosperity for decades. Warp Speed was born from years of basic biomedical research funded by the govt”.
Rahm Emanuel's @PostOpinions piece on industrial policy is the best statement of principles around government involvement in the structure of the economy that I have seen from a prominent political figure. @RahmEmanuel is on to an issue that will be more important going forward.

« On reconnaît l’être humain à ce qu’il choisit de faire », nous disait André Malraux. Marc Garneau a fait de sa vie un engagement au service du Canada. Scientist, astronaut, minister — he lived a full and remarkable life, one that inspired many and left a lasting legacy.
