It seems like lots of places that used to build don't anymore (USA anyone) and detailed analysis about why a particular nation or sector is having issues is always helpful. That being said, I think there is also a background issue of much of the "democratic" (really oligarchic) way of governing being overall spent and exhausted. It can't focus energy at anywhere near the intensity it used to. Compare the New Deal to recent infrastructure bills. Imagine building the CA Highway 1 today... that was one of hundreds of successful new deal projects. But you can't repeat the past and we keep trying to with ever larger bureaucracies doing fainter and fainter imitations of the new deal.
