We Didn’t Ask for This Internet | The Ezra Klein Show

I read the transcript of this discussion yesterday and found it informative and thought provoking.

To be sure, the federal government, usually by way of Congress, has previously practiced #industrialpolicy. But the #centralization of policy in the president would be something different: more like a command economy, which in the United States might be called #commandcapitalism."

Les organisations (institutions étatiques, think tanks, ONG, associations, etc.) et influenceurs de la mouvance éco-capitaliste ne remettent aucunement en question le confort moderne.
