Aside from the relatively passive device of imposing high tariffs on imports, what could the American government do about this issue while still pretending all the mythologies about the free market and government being bad at everything are also true? Is the assumption that tax and tariff policies alone would make American corporations serve the national interest as well as those in China clearly have true, or is more needed? If more is needed, is not the notion that conservative orthodoxy is obsolete more or less proven? Are we to presume that just by adjusting tariffs and tax structures, our ‘free and unfettered’ corporate system will outcompete the Chinese system operating in close concert with government?
