    The Carolina Journal makes a wide sweeping evaluation of the news that most effects us here in North Carolina, and is distilled, here on BCN, for your clear understanding by the electronic means of video broadcast.



    Scott Lincicome from the libertarian Cato Institute discusses industrial policy and his recent research paper "Questioning Industrial Policy: Why Government Manufacturing Plans Are Ineffective and Unnecessary."

    Lincicome describes the nature of industrial policy and the common obstacles to implementing effective industrial policy in the United States. He also discusses the problems industrial policy hopes to solve and compares that with the costs.
