Qual é o Problema com Política Industrial?

É que decisões políticas definem política industrial, e não questões de eficiência econômica. Como explicam Acemoglu e Robinson:

"The problem is not thinking of situations in which industrial policy might be a good thing, of which there certainly are some. The problem is trying to identify the political situations in which industrial policy can actually be used to address these situations, and that is a much taller order."
