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

Some folks must assume the federal government will do a pretty good job of running a centralized energy industry, especially if they're throwing stacks of cash at it. I am *way* skeptical. I'd choose a much smaller pool of funds with better incentive alignment any day of the week

Defense industry is around 2 million jobs. Is that nationalization too?

It certainly looks a lot more like it than most industries, but it's an industry that exists purely to serve gov. Nobody wants the "benefits" of an efficient open market around war arms. Gov isn't putting in huge orders to be exported or resold domestically. Crucial distinction!
