Overview
Joseph Stiglitz gave the keynote talk at the 14th Annual JRCPFF Conference: Building the Future: A New Era of Industrial Policy. The conference was held at Princeton University from February 20 – 21 2025.
The Center’s 14th annual conference explored the resurgence of industrial policy in the last decade in response to global challenges like the climate crisis, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain issues. The goals of new industrial policy include assuring a competitive supply of products and technologies, strategically positioning domestic firms in the development of next-generation technologies, addressing market failures, and promoting growth in selected industries.
