Ronald Cose mischaracterized Pagoop's thought in the 1960 paper, The Problem of Social Cost. People who advocate for industrial policy actually have a kind of impossibility theorem. They recognize that politics are going to distort industrial policy. So it is impossible to come up with a coherent way to solve the political problem.
Economist and political scientist Michael Munger of Duke University talks about industrial policy with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Munger argues that in a democracy, the default outcome for industrial policy is crony capitalism--attempts to improve on that outcome either by appointing experts or eliminating cronyism are going to fail for political reasons. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the reliability of Munger's claim and what options are left for dissatisfied reformers.
