Building an Innovation Policy ft. Congressman Ami Bera

With tensions rising between liberal democracies and authoritarian regimes around the world, many Americans are looking to Congress to see how America can keep its technological and innovation edge.  Rep. Ami Bera joins the podcast to talk about the COMPETES Act and USICA, two bills aiming to do just that.  What's in these bills? Are they too bloated for their own good?  Will they help the US compete with China?  We discuss all this and more with Rep. Bera as COMPETES makes it way through the conference committee and into law. To make sure you hear every episode, join our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject.
