Even in economics - either the mafiosi/oligarchs will steal/embezzle it, or the mafioso state itself (a la USSR of thucking memory) will squander and waste it. Either way, it is no USA of 1950s.

you are over reaching - again I was talking about the same type of provision that America enacted to maintain an industrial base for national security.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/control/export/provisions.htm

The Export Control Act of 1949 gave the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Export Administration primary responsibility for administering and enforcing export controls on dual-use items, and for the first time defined three reasons for the imposition of these controls - national security, foreign policy, and short supply. Upon the expiration of the Export Control Act, the Export Administration Act (EAA) of 1969 took effect on January 1, 1970. The EAA was reestablished in 1979, and amended several times since. The Act lapsed on August 20, 1994.

In recent years the Clinton Administration has made major progress in eliminating unnecessary and ineffective export controls and streamlining the export control process.

MCTL: Militarily Critical Technologies List The Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL), which is revised each year to reflect changes in technologies and the world environment, is the Defense Department’s best guess as to what technologies and equipment must be protected from unauthorized export. These technologies are perceived as providing the key to maintaining US military superiority.
