Helping Middle America Means Getting D.C. Out of The Way

Helping Middle America Means Getting D.C. Out of The Way

Politics Helping Middle America Means Getting D.C. Out of The Way Government meddling is the problem, not the solution. Credit: LucasImages/Shutterstock National industrial policy’s siren song of rebuilding blue-collar American manufacturing and restoring widespread prosperity has been difficult for many on the political right to resist. Yet industrial policy has a long history of crashing its followers onto the rocks of economic hardship. The ideas of Friedrich Hayek, who won the Nobel Prize in economics 50 years ago, can help us resist it. Hayek clearly explained why government officials were incapable of successfully engineering a society, no matter how well-intentioned their plans may be.  Hayek argued that free societies flourish best under an organic “rule of law” rooted in tradition. The rule of law primarily protects the “Three P’s”: persons, property, and promises. It should be predictable, stable, general, and impartial; it should leave people, organizations, and communities free to pursue their own goals and make use of their localized knowledge of time and place. Hayek thought that true “law” givers codified existing customs that emerged naturally from peaceful interaction. They seek “merely to state what law was and always had been.”  Hayek contrasts “law” with mere “legislation.” Law evolves over time through repeated interactions and gradual modifications through amendments and judicial review. Legislation, however, entails lawmakers or bureaucrats replacing millions of individuals’ decentralized decisions with their own plans and goals. While Hayek did not say that all legislation was bad, he noted that the more government attempts to consciously shape the law, the more problems arise.  When legislators prescribe specific actions or behavior, they ignore the diversity of resources, circumstances, and goals of the citizens. Their plans usually fail because the requisite knowledge to organize a society is spread out across time and space. That knowledge is communicated through prices, which change in real-time with market exchanges. Without such exchanges, the necessary information conveyed through the price system is unavailable.  No government can match Amazon or Walmart at providing goods and services people want at a price they are willing to pay. At best, governments make allocation decisions without prices, throwing darts at a dartboard while blind-folded. At worst, governments allocate resources based on what interest groups can exert the most pressure. Industrial policy constitutes “legislation” rather than “law.” Government subsidies from federal, state, and local governments in the forms of grants, loans, and tax credits replace the judgment and planning of ordinary men and women with the plans of a few in D.C. As David Goldman mentioned last September, “Innovation can’t be budgeted and scheduled, only fostered and encouraged.” Look no further than the Biden-Harris Administration’s “Build America, Buy America” program within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or the Inflation Reduction Act. These programs offered billions of dollars in subsidies, but all the dollars came with strings attached, like complying with climate regulations or hiring based upon diversity, equity, and inclusion criteria. Recipients of these programs had to comply with numerous federal regulations, often slowing down projects and dramatically increasing costs on taxpayers. Even if conservatives were to strike these requirements from infrastructure policy bills, there is little stopping them from being reinstated the next time the left gains political power. Furthermore, the money funding these programs came from hardworking Americans paying taxes or from issuing new debt, which will be paid for by our children and grandchildren. One analysis of the CHIPS and Science Act’s $280 billion semiconductor program found that it will yield little to no economic gains. Instead of stimulating the American economy, “legislators” made America poorer. Conservatives concerned for blue-collar workers and American families should remember how one program after another intended to help American families failed miserably—whether subsidized housing or other welfare programs that discouraged work and marriage or the massive public-school bureaucracy that indoctrinates as much as it teaches. These government programs fail because, as Hayek showed, those in D.C. cannot incorporate the wide array of circumstances, goals, values, and constraints faced by millions of American families when they create prescriptive legislation. Another problem with governing via legislation involves lackluster adaptation. Individuals have strong incentives to adjust their plans quickly as they run into unforeseen obstacles or when their circumstances change. Creators of legislation, on the other hand, have other priorities. Elected officials want to get elected and reelected. Bureaucrats want to grow the number of people working under them and their agency’s discretionary budget. Government officials will work to see their goals realized with little regard for their impact on ordinary Americans.  Remember that the dismal record of government programs has less to do with the goals and priorities of those who create them than with the inevitable knowledge and incentive problems they face. Those who create legislation usually bear very few of the consequences of their rules, and so rarely feel the need to modify or change those rules—leaving us and our posterity materially poorer and under the thumb of a government that already regulates everything under the sun. Conservatives who are skeptical about free markets should keep this in mind as they craft policy proposals. They are often rightly concerned with very real problems. But misunderstanding the source of those problems, such as blaming free trade or free-market competition for economic malaise, leads to wrong-headed solutions. Extensive plans or blueprints for how to use federal power and federal money to rebuild communities that have suffered decay and dislocation will backfire. Government officials can’t possibly know the circumstances, constraints, and opportunities of millions of people, let alone how those things change in real time. Instead, the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has a historic opportunity to will help Americans get back to work and keep their hard-earned income cutting back on regulations, tightening welfare conditions, and reducing taxes. Devoting time and energy to that project would be a far better investment than spending time imagining creative legislation to add to the pervasive existing legislation tying American communities down.  Although lower taxes, deregulation, and less federal government may not sound as enticing as the siren song of industrial policy, it will keep us off the rocks of failure and keep us on course for sustainable economic growth and prosperity.

Trump and the Future of the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue

Trump and the Future of the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue 

Foreign Affairs Trump and the Future of the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue  With Trump back in the White House, Kosovo’s partition returns to the negotiating table—could this be an unlikely solution that brings peace between Albanians and Serbs?  Credit: svet foto/Shutterstock In February 2008, nine years after NATO intervention in the former Yugoslavia, Kosovo—backed by the United States—unilaterally declared independence from Serbia. Today, Kosovo’s status and territory remains contested between Belgrade and Pristina. With over 100 countries recognizing its statehood, the region is de facto independent from the Serbian government.   Despite strong support of Western countries and the presence of American troops, the government in Pristina has struggled to establish control over northern Kosovo, a region predominantly inhabited by Serbs.  The Belgrade–Pristina negotiations—a series of talks between the governments of Serbia and Kosovo—have been ongoing since 2011. Over the past decade, these talks have led to economic and administrative agreements, but a lasting solution for Kosovo has not been reached.  The greatest progress in negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia occurred during President Donald Trump’s first administration. In 2020, President Trump and his special envoy for the region, Richard Grenell, brought both sides to the White House. Leveraging his business background, Trump focused on economic issues—a move welcomed by both delegations—which led to the normalization of economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo.  During these years, the idea of land swap, which would result in the partition of Kosovo, was proposed by several White House officials. Yet Western countries, led by Britain and Germany, blocked discussion of territorial adjustments.  Trump’s return to the White House could revive discussions on the partition of Kosovo.  For the past 25 years, Serbia and Kosovo have been locked in a frozen conflict. Tensions reached a critical point last year when clashes erupted between Serbs and Kosovo police as the Pristina government attempted to impose ethnic Albanian mayors in the Serb-majority region of northern Kosovo. The violence resulted in over 40 NATO peacekeepers injured, one Kosovo police officer dead, two injured, and three Serbs killed.  In the middle of the war in Ukraine, Trump should avoid repeating Biden’s mistake of allowing Russia to stir up a new conflict, this time in the Balkans. Taking proactive steps to initiate territorial talks between Serbia and Kosovo—under American auspices—could foster peace and stability in the region.   A territorial agreement allowing Serbia to annex the predominantly Serb-inhabited northern region would likely be welcomed in Belgrade. Such a deal would receive support from the Serbian public, which has shown openness to partitioning Kosovo in the past, while opposing its unconditional recognition.  The partition of Kosovo could greatly improve Serbia’s relations with Western countries. Although traditionally a U.S. ally in both world wars and the Cold War, Serbia has recently shifted toward China and Russia, largely in search of support on the Kosovo issue. Resolving the conflict with Kosovo would allow Belgrade to pursue a pro-Western foreign policy: EU and NATO memberships, without concerns of backlash from Beijing and Moscow.  Serbia wouldn’t be the only one to benefit from such an agreement. Kosovo would gain long-sought recognition from Belgrade and could finally secure membership in the United Nations—a key aspiration of Pristina’s leadership. Freed from the challenges of being an “unfinished state,” Kosovo’s leaders could focus on attracting foreign investment, boosting economic growth, and tackling corruption.  Many foreign policy experts have described a territorial adjustment between Serbia and Kosovo as an unconventional solution. Kosovo is often regarded as sui generis in international law. A distinctive blend of factors, including the collapse of Yugoslavia, the conflict in Kosovo, and the prolonged period of UN administration, make Kosovo a unique case. Given this, why should conventional solutions apply?  Returning the Serb-inhabited northern Kosovo to Serbia is a far better approach than land swaps or population transfers, which could open a Pandora’s box in the Balkans. The frequently discussed land swap between Serbia and Kosovo, involves exchanging northern Kosovo, with its Serb-majority population, for a few Albanian-majority towns in southern Serbia. These towns lie along Pan-European Corridor X, which connects Serbia to North Macedonia and Greece. If Kosovo were to annex this area, international transportation routes could be disrupted by Kosovo’s border control.  Additionally, the Open Balkan initiative—led by Grenell to promote free trade between Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia—would face a significant setback.  In 2020, President Trump successfully brokered the Washington Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo. While the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East are a top priority of Trump’s agenda, the issue of Kosovo remains on his radar. News reports indicate that President Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia was among the first dozen world leaders to speak with President-elect Trump. Meanwhile, Grenell—former acting director of national intelligence and Trump’s special envoy for the region—remains a strong candidate for a senior role in the new administration.  The unlikely duo of Trump and Grenell might just be the region’s hope for lasting peace and stability. Unconventional problems call for unconventional leaders. If anyone can lead Kosovo and Serbia toward a lasting agreement, it’s Trump. Solving the Kosovo riddle would signal to the world that he is back and ready for action. Such an agreement could pave the way for reconciliation between Albanians and Serbs, positioning Serbia as a reliable Western ally in the Balkans. Upon his return to the White House, Trump could play a role in facilitating negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina, building on the progress he made four years ago. With Trump back in charge and continued diplomatic efforts, there may be a path toward a lasting peace in the region.  The post Trump and the Future of the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue  appeared first on The American Conservative.
