Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Every state now competes for chips, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and energy - under the same physics, the same capital markets, the same supply chains, and with machines that could not be more different from one another.>Why does the same subsidy build a champion in Seoul and a museum in Brasília Who May Compete answers that the difference is not the instrument, not the dose of intervention, and not the ideology of the government. It is the architecture of authority: who chooses the bet, who pays for it, what the recipient owes in return, who measures the result, and who holds the power to switch it off. Where those five functions keep public power contestable, support becomes a contract, error becomes information, and money becomes capacity. Where they do not, the same money buys the perpetuation of the past in the vocabulary of the future - sincerely, under a national flag, with everyone's consent and no one's knowledge. The book builds that criterion from four centuries of institutional history and from the causal evidence of the last two decades, each entry declaring the research design behind it. It then turns the criterion on a single country. Brazil assembled, across a full century, the most complete rent machine with a competitive façade in the hemisphere - eight decisive margins, eight reversed signs - and, inside the same borders and under the same law, three islands of world-class excellence that refute every cultural explanation of its failure. The problem was never the capacity to do. It was the architecture that decides what gets done. What the reader takes away is a protocol of five questions, short enough to carry, that can be put to any competitiveness policy on the afternoon it reaches the floor: Who chose this bet Who pays, and knows that they pay What does the recipient owe, and until when Who measures - and with what consequence Who can switch it off The book also states what it has not established. Its predictions are dated and public, its scope is declared, and the studies that would refute it are specified rather than promised. A criterion that cannot fail is not a criterion. Written for political scientists, economists, policymakers, journalists and citizens who suspect that the long argument about the size of the state has consumed the decades that the question about its anatomy would have decided.…
