Is America still the world’s leading technological and industrial power? This is the daring and haunting question some of the most brilliant minds in technology and industrial policy recently addressed in a thick volume called The Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook. 

Compiling contributions from American Compass, the Institute for Progress, the Foundation for American Innovation, and the New American Industrial Association Foundation, this extensive text lists policy proposals anchored in the belief that if we prolong the mantra “invent here, make there”, a lurking decline will decidedly knock the U.S. off its pedestal.
