Abstract
This chapter traces the essential elements of the American industrial strategy in the neoliberal era, as they emerged in the historical reality of the last 40 years. The main aim of the chapter is to locate the American neoliberal strategy in the recent post-crisis context and to assess the effective possibility for the United States to continue to implement it in the future. In particular, this chapter investigates whether the ongoing global transformations—namely the changes in the distribution of economic power at the international level and in the formal and informal institutional channels of the global order—are limiting the US capacity to adopt a neoliberal industrial strategy.
