Is a solid, econ-literate discussion of Elizabeth Warren's "economic patriotism" proposals happening anywhere? To my untrained eye it looks like a semi-opaque nationalization scheme, but I don't know enough to feel confident that I can keep my eye on the ball

Specifically, I'm confused/concerned by: 1) The "Green Manufacturing Plan," which seems to have the federal gov commissioning a huge volume of products, many for export 2) The lambasting of American companies, multinationals & global capital in the initial Medium post

I'm immediately a bit concerned by any plan that involves a government commissioning, controlling the manufacture process of *and* reselling products, because again, this looks sneakily like industry nationalization. But I wanna be super clear that I'm unsure of what I'm missing

If you have *a million* new jobs in clean energy funded directly or indirectly by government contracts for products, many of which will be re-entering the market at whatever price the gov sets, you can easily kill any company in that space that *doesn't* get gov contracts
