Talk:Industrial policy

message: This article takes the POV that "Industrial policy" is basically protectionism.  I don't think this a settled stance on the issue.  In particular, one paragraph makes ascertains about the success of industrial policy and ties between industrial policy and immigration. This section seems like a mixed bag of original research, uncited and contestable information, and opinion, none of which should be in a Wikipedia article. I thinks this at least needs citations and these statements should be removed unless they are added soon.--Bkwillwm (talk) 04:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: the whole article is a bunch of unsourced assertions, original research, written from a left-wing point-of-view. Arronax50 (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: POV and citation issues

message: The article needs a section on the different types of industrial policies: enclaves, polar or dual economies, import substitution, export promotion, export processing zones, etc.I'll work on it if I have the time. --Forich (talk) 00:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Industrial policies 

message: This article seems to have been written as thought it were an article about industrial policy in the USA instead of generally. I think I will, at least for the mean time, break it up into country specific subcategories in the History section and expand on the industrial policy of other counties when I have the time. --Discott (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Anyone mind if I delete it? Google gives me a complete blank. Only results are this article and cites mirroring it. ColaXtra (talk) 15:37, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Here is a quick heads up on some changes/additions I am thinking of making to this page. I am currently thinking of adding a section of the industrial policies, or at least the current historical discourse of their policies, of different countries around the world.  I am currently thinking of focusing on England, Japan and Germany in particular (PR China is also likely) as I have a number of references lined up for them.  I dont know as much about US industrial policy.  I might add South African industrial policy as well but that is a big maybe as though would require a bit more research on my side.--Discott (talk) 01:37, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be a welcome change, the current article is too American-centric and seems to conflate "industrial policy" with reactive "interventionism" whereas I thought industrial policies were more akin to proactive yet indirect economic planning under a market economy framework. The East Asian tiger economies, People's Republic of China, Singapore, Japan and France until the 1980s all come to mind when I think of "industrial policy", not simple intervention/regulation inherent to all economies. -Battlecry 09:06, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
