Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Industrial policy involves government supplanting society's myriad private collaborations -- i.e., market transactions -- to allocate resources and opportunities as government thinks best.
54% : Such policy empowers government, which is politics in every fiber of its being, to supplant markets in shaping the future, deciding which industries and products should prosper.
48% : It survives because it is defended by the "reliance interests" -- industries tethered to government favoritism -- that industrial policy, a.k.a. protectionism or crony capitalism, invariably produces.
