Foundations for balancing state power and industry
This nonfiction work examines how governments should regulate industrial activity. It argues that the old idea of non‑interference is incomplete and asks how best to combine public authority with private enterprise to serve society as a whole. The author surveys theories of laissez‑faire, compares public and private financing, and outlines a practical framework for guiding industrial policy without stifling progress.
In clear terms, the book explains why some industries may function best under strong public oversight, while others thrive under market competition. It develops a threefold view of industries, showing when state intervention can improve efficiency and when competition can yield better results. Throughout, it stresses that society’s needs must guide action, not rigid doctrine."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument against the doctrine of laissez-faire, which advocates for minimal government interference in the economy. The author posits that this hands-off approach has led to dire consequences for society, including income inequality, corporate monopolies, and government inefficiency. The author instead proposes that the state should play a more active role in regulating industry, particularly in preventing the formation of monopolies and protecting workers from exploitation. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the negative effects of laissez-faire and offers thought-provoking insights into the proper relationship between government and industry. It challenges conventional economic wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the role of the state in modern society.
