      Japan has programs explicitly aimed at "regional revitalization". Should the U.S. have such a program for the Midwest?

      on the one hand, yes, we should on the other, I am deeply skeptical they'll work in Japan, and if they don't, we shouldn't

      They haven't worked in Japan. But neither have most of their tech policies, while ours have worked well. So maybe we can do it?

      Maybe worth a shot, then. Were our tech policies the same as theirs?

      If their regional revitalization programs failed due to poor conception, we might manage better--but if due to inherent flaw...

      I will look into what they did...basically I think they already had good infrastructure and services, while we don't.

      Also I know some of their projects focused on agricultural regions and farming. Conflicted with their support for small farms.

      For MW/NE revitalization I'm thinking: A) Infrastructure, B) more college(s), C) pro-density, and maybe D) export promotion zones?

      I like A, C, and D here, not so sure about B but you said that approach worked for tech policies so maybe

          Midwest has anomalously low % of white people with college degrees. Also, yeah, universities can boost tech industry.

          good point; I was thinking of New England (we are saturated). The state university system is no guarantee tho, at least in Maine

          Right, I think it's just one piece of the puzzle. Also I'd consider Texas-style policies to attract businesses.

          What sort of policies are these? I'm more interested in what can be done to generate new businesses vs attract existing ones...

          Agreed, but stuff like low taxes and light-touch regulation (in some areas) probably does that (neoliberalism!!).

          low taxes and minimal regulation are definitely useful here--and lol, let them cry neoliberalism, it's still true

          Some regulation is good, especially anti-pollution. No one wants to move to a polluted place.
