Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower. Now, America’s edge is slipping, undermined by competitors in Taiwan, Korea, Europe, and, above all, China. In this month’s People, Politics, and Prose, Chris Miller, Director of FPRI’s Eurasia Program, will join Ron Granieri to explore how the semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life, the current worldwide chip shortage, and a new front in superpower rivalry.
