Episode 217: The Biden Doctrine: Let’s Go Backwards

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss an op-ed by Fareed Zakaria that appeared in the Washington Post this weekend. Zakaria dives into his concerns centered on the "Biden Doctrine," and the use of industrial policy to further U.S. government goals.

What does the Fault Lines crew think of the doctrine?  Is America trying to emulate China’s economic model and if so, why?  How can America both continue to innovate while making sure national security needs are being met?

Hear our experts debate these issues and more in less than 10 minutes on our latest episode of Fault Lines!
