 Wikinfo | Industrial policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Even the United States, which prides itself as a "free-trading" nation, has implemented strong tax, tariff, and trade laws to "protect itself" from "dumping", which is the provision of an industrial subsidy by a competing nation to make products for export.
Today most industrial policy is subordinated to tax, tariff and trade rules of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariff (or "GATT") and various trade pacts promising various degrees of "free trade", which in practice means limited subsidy and no protectionism of any one industry.
However, notable exceptions including agricultural subsidy in both Europe and the US, and cultural subsidy in Canada, prove that the principle of industrial policy is alive and well, and merely retreating into the shadows.
