You cannot simultaneously do β€œindustrial policy” while gutting state capacity.

The parallels with Hungary are striking with one key exception in my view: Hungary’s decline has been relative and slow. Hard for voters to understand. Trump’s willingness to visibly break the economy in pursuit of economically illiterate tariff policy may put the US on a different path soon.

How Europe’s battery champion descended into crisis Insiders say Northvolt, Europe’s best-funded start-up, has been beset by problems from the start

A humbling read for Europeans. Being an infant industry is super hard.

β€œThe Chinese are being so fast on this,” said one former Northvolt chemical engineer. β€œThey are established and they have already done it. So they’re just better. We are late to the party.”
