The story goes back to Obama and multiple administrations. I remember, that the author spoke about the futile attempt of the state to “bribe” capital into bringing industry back instead of just building state owned industry. The words “bribe” or “bribing” were definitely used, but no matter how long I search, I can’t seem to find the article. It might have been a substack or not and it wasn’t peer reviewed. Any chance someone has seen it?
