The forming of an industrial policy may well be the most important business development in the next two decades. In this volume Sharon Zukin has gathered industrial policy advocates from business, labor, government, and academia to discuss the concerns which they have in common. What emerges is a full discussion which includes examinations of such topics as reindustrialization and its regional and national consequences, competition in world markets by means of internationalization of investment, production, sales and the central role of government policy in developing corporate strategy, and labor unions' fears that they will be left behind by business governments. The book also analyzes the politics behind the slogans of industrial policy, and includes a valuable comparison between the developments in France and the United States.
