industries, protectionism, and other forms of interventionism that

I have a moment of silence for the silent bell. — A. J. Jacobs

But I should caution that if you seek to plot out all your moves before you make them - if you put your faith in slow, deliberative planning in the hopes it will spare you failure down the line - well, you're deluding yourself.
