That's where Gilles and I would probably differ from some other economists who say to let the market decide. The truth is that governments have finite resources, and every day we're taking priority-setting decisions: we're going to give more money for this, but we're not going to give it for that. We think you have to bring the same mindset to the development of sectors without picking winners, without picking individual firms, or even individual subsectors, and really to creating the conditions and identifying the races in which we're really equipped to run.
