I'm confused. What is the difference between government running a grocery store and government owning a share of a semiconductor company? Why would one of these be a good thing and the other not such a good thing?

"What was promised by some on the post-neoliberal right was a return to the interests of workers, understood as wages and benefits generous enough to re-fix the social anchor of the male-breadwinner trad-family in the disorienting slurry of modern life. What has happened so far is a mockery of that promise. In practice, the MAGA-right version of post-neoliberalism has done nothing to realize the supposed values of community, place, dignity of labor, or any of the other fanciful terms proposed by the administration’s economist at the event. Instead, it has produced extraordinarily high levels of corruption and self-dealing; bilateral deals with overseas investors to privatize profits; and the inevitable prospect of future federal backstops for colossal investments by a small number of technology firms, with at best residual effects for the portion of the population not left behind by globalization—those positioned to profit via rising stock prices with fingers double-crossed that the bubble does not burst in the near future."

"The global economy is undergoing a fundamental shift. After decades of free-market orthodoxy and neoliberal globalization, we’re witnessing the return of industrial policy — but this time with a twist. Major economic powers — especially the United States, China, and the European Union — are now explicitly intertwining their economic strategies with national security concerns. This isn’t just a policy adjustment. It represents a wholesale transformation of how major powers approach economic development and competition.

These three economic giants are implementing distinct approaches to industrial policy while pursuing similar objectives: technological leadership, supply chain security, and national economic sovereignty. What we’re seeing is the emergence of a new economic nationalism, one that is reshaping the global economic order.
(...)
The crucial point is this: neomercantilism — the idea that countries should actively use industrial and trade policies to generate trade surpluses and enhance competitiveness — has always viewed economic power and national security as inseparable. So, what we’re witnessing today isn’t the invention of something entirely new, but rather the resurrection of ideas that were temporarily suppressed during the neoliberal era of the 1980s onwards.

During that period, international organizations effectively outlawed industrial policy through structural adjustment programmes and free trade agreements. The Washington Consensus reigned supreme. But the 2008 financial crisis, rising inequality, climate change pressures, supply chain vulnerabilities exposed by COVID-19, and intensifying geopolitical tensions have collectively demolished faith in free-market orthodoxy. Industrial policy is back. And it’s back with a vengeance."
