DXY: The power of the economy!Mr. Biden revived the industry to compete with China, but this intervention could put the US economy and its allies at risk, according to the WSJ.
Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden's national security adviser, is often preoccupied with foreign threats, such as the Ukraine conflict. But in April, in a speech at the Brookings Institution, he addressed the threat from within, of the long-held view of Washington elites that "the market has always allocated capital efficiently. and perfomance".
Some in policy circles call this view neoliberalism, or free trade, which has been bipartisan for decades. But Sullivan argues, this doctrine has emptied America's industrial base, weakened the middle class and made the country more vulnerable to climate change, Covid-19 and the weaponization of its supply chains. hostile countries.
To solve it, he said that the US needs a new approach, a "modern industrial strategy". Accordingly, the government supports stronger investment in industry and commerce to strengthen the middle class and national security.
Since the 2020 election, Mr. Biden has tried to come up with a unified theory for his economic policies. And Sullivan's recent remarks on the White House's domestic and foreign goals toward China have more clearly depicted what could be called "Bidenomics," with three pillars. With that comes some blind spots and contradictions in this economic policy, according to the WSJ.
