Aghion (et al) have a paper on China, they recognised long ago & before many that the Chinese model departs from the East Asia model in having a Darwinian struggle-to-the-death competition of firms behind a wall of protection. It pairs Schumpeterian growth theory w the economics of industrial policy

AI infrastructure is surging, but broader US manufacturing investment is slowing. The risk: an AI boom that enriches tech firms more than people. A smart industrial policy will translate AI’s surge into quality jobs. An 🎯 piece from @ianrharnett.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c7b9453e-f...

In some senses you can see this as a form of industrial policy stimulating the growth of the arts sector, this is great for those who like the arts and those who produce art! Assuming the implementation is good etc. etc. 🎨🎵✒️

Some of our takeaways: 1) clever policy design can ensure that MNEs lead to positive technology spillovers to local firms, 2) this competition might hurt firms from the technological leader - effective policy must grapple with the nuanced realities of global integration. 🙌🙌 Important work here ⬇️
