Rethink Economic Resilience

Imagine you are designing a national strategy to make a mid-sized economy more resilient when major technologies and capital increasingly cluster in larger neighboring markets. What policies would help attract investment, keep talent, strengthen data infrastructure, and reduce dependence on foreign technology providers? Compare the benefits and risks of subsidies, procurement, regulation, public infrastructure, and industrial strategy. End by proposing a realistic plan for improving competitiveness without wasting public money.
