OP, did you also read Gray Mirror this morning. Curtis Yarvin went onto defend the IC idea this morning as a way to defend nascent industries (new industries). Interesting article, also presented the ideas of mercantilism of Friedrich List (originator of the Zollverein idea).

Thank you for that! I didn't know about Yarvin nor List. I will try to find out more.
