參議員馬可·魯比奧（Marco Rubio）參議員在國防大學周二發表的演講中，繼續了他最近對市場“原教旨主義”的鬥爭，在麵對中國崛起時提出了“呼籲采取21世紀親美產業政策的呼籲”。
市場可能會說，短期利潤符合中國對公司的要求。但是政策製定者必須考慮到，長期將我們的生產能力移交給中國是魯ck的。”盧比奧說。
他接著說：“這不是對社會主義的呼喚，也不是對資本主義的拒絕。呼籲決策者記住，國家利益而不是經濟增長是我們的核心義務。”
在預覽演講時，盧比奧告訴華盛頓考官，他沒有提議放棄市場經濟，他的關注範圍比簡單的經濟政策更為廣泛。審查員還報告說，演講稿沒有列出解決中國威脅的具體措施，除了盧比奧（Rubio）提振美國稀土礦產業的法案。
在某些情況下，市場產生的有效結果不會反映我們的國家利益，在那一刻，確保國家利益受到保護是決策者的工作。”盧比奧說。
在演講中，盧比奧譴責當前的經濟辯論提供了“過時和錯誤的選擇”。
左翼想要更多的政府計劃，對所有事物征收更多的稅，並且每個人都為之付出代價–經常提倡對激勵身份政治和文化戰爭，但無視甚至破壞我們的國家安全和創造就業機會的私營企業進行獎勵和懲罰。” 說過。 “右邊的市場原教旨主義者希望在股票市場擁有更多創紀錄的日子，而不是其他所有日子。即使這意味著我們對中國的依賴和損失繼續擴大到價值鏈上端的美國產業。”
上個月，佛羅裏達共和黨人在美國天主教大學關於“共同善良的資本主義”的演講中提到了中國的崛起，他說：“正如羅伯特·肯尼迪在1968年所做的那樣，我們必須再次接受文化與經濟學之間不可分割的聯係。”
盧比奧（Rubio）的近期哲學轉變引發了保守派經濟學界的辯論，批評者認為該參議員誤解了聯邦政府的作用，而支持者則聲稱盧比奧（Rubio）正確確定了在市場上進行價值判斷的公共政策的必要性。

Rubio Calls for a ‘Pro-American Industrial Policy’ to Challenge China in Followup to ‘Common Good Capitalism’ Speech
December 10, 2019 12:50 PM
Senator Marco Rubio continued his recent crusade against market “fundamentalism” in a Tuesday speech at the National Defense University, positing a “call for a 21st century pro-American industrial policy” in the face of a rising China.
The market may say short-term profits justify adhering to the requirements China places on our companies. But policymakers must take into account that long-term surrendering our productive capacity to China is reckless,” Rubio stated.
He went on to say that “this isn’t a call to socialism or a rejection of capitalism; it’s a call to policymakers to remember that the national interest, not economic growth, is our central obligation.”
In previewing the speech, Rubio told theWashington Examiner that he is not proposing a shift away from a market economy, and that his focus is broader than simple economic policy. The Examineralso reported that a draft of the speech did not lay out specific measures to address the China threat, save for Rubio’s bill to boost the U.S. rare-earth minerals industry.
There are moments in which the market produces an efficient outcome that doesn’t
reflect our national interest, and in those moments, it is the job of policymakers to ensure the national interest is protected,” Rubio said.
During the speech, Rubio decried the current economic debate as offering “an archaic and false choice.”
The left wants more government programs, and more taxes on everything, and everyone to pay for them — often advocating incentives and punishments on private industry that stoke identity politics and culture wars, but ignore and even undermine our national security and job creation,” Rubio said. “The market fundamentalists on the right want more record-setting days in the stock market above all else. Even if it means our dependence on and losses to China continue expanding to American industries higher up the value chain.”
Last month, the Florida Republican referenced the rise of China in a speech on “common good capitalism” at the Catholic University of America, saying “as Robert F. Kennedy did in 1968, we must once again accept the indivisible tie between culture and economics.”
Rubio’s recent philosophical shift has sparked a debate over economics in conservative circles, with critics arguing that the senator misunderstands the role of the federal government, while proponents claim that Rubio correctly identifies the need for public policy to make value judgements in markets.
