About
National Development is a curated webzine featuring easily accessible content from experts interested in national development doctrine, policy, and institutions. Issues that National Development explore include making the case for national developmentalism, how to depoliticize state functions so government can be effective for national developmentalism; restructuring the finance sector to make it an enabler of national developmentalism; articulating an agenda for reshoring; designing particular legislation or federal programs; identifying the right institutional structure to carry out a development agenda; and crafting political messages to gain support for national developmentalism. We look forward to lively debates, innovative proposals, and movement toward a more effective U.S. national economic policy.
