Chip War by Chris Miller Pdf

One of Barack Obama’s Favorite Books of 2023 The Financial Times Business Book of the Year, this epic account of the decades-long battle to control one of the world’s most critical resources—microchip technology—with the United States and China increasingly in fierce competition is “pulse quickening…a nonfiction thriller” (The New York Times). You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America’s military superiority and economic prosperity. Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life and how the US became dominant in chip design and manufacturing and applied this technology to military systems. America’s victory in the Cold War and its global military dominance stems from its ability to harness computing power more effectively than any other power. Until recently, China had been catching up, aligning its chip-building ambitions with military modernization. Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War is “an essential and engrossing landmark study" (London Times).

The East Asian Computer Chip War by Ming-chin Monique Chu Pdf

The semiconductor industry is a vital industry for military establishments worldwide, and the control of, or loss of control of, this key industry has enormous strategic implications. This book focuses on the globalization of the strategic semiconductor industry and the security ramifications of this process. It examines in particular the migration of the Taiwanese chip industry to China as part of the globalization of production processes, and the extent to which such a globalization process poses security challenges to the United States, China and Taiwan. Transcending disciplinary boundaries between international political economy, security studies, and the history of science and technology, this multidisciplinary work provides an in-depth understanding of the globalization-security nexus, and disentangles the key policy issues connected to a potential explosive flashpoint in world politics today.

Summary of Chip War by Chris Miller by thomas francis Pdf

Chip War Aboard the USS Mustin, sailors were stationed in a dimly lit room, observing an array of screens that displayed data from various sources like aircraft, drones, ships, and satellites, all tracking movements across the Indo-Pacific region. The concern for China's leadership was not so much the U.S. Navy but rather an inconspicuous regulation from the Commerce Department that restricted the export of American technology. This regulation led to Huawei being cut off from purchasing computer chips crafted using U.S. technology, halting its global expansion. Consequently, China is now focusing intensively on developing its own semiconductor technology to escape the United States' dominance in chip technology. As the USS Mustin continued its journey south, numerous factories and assembly lines on both sides of the Strait were busy producing components for the iPhone 12. A significant portion of the semiconductor industry's revenue is derived from smartphones, and the cost of these phones is largely due to the semiconductors they contain.

Summary of Chris Miller's Chip War by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The US built more tanks than all the Axis powers combined, more ships, and twice as many planes. The war was waged by soldiers at Stalingrad and sailors at Midway, but the fighting power was produced by America’s Kaiser shipyards and the assembly lines at River Rouge. #2 In 1945, radio broadcasts around the world announced that World War II was finally over. Outside of Tokyo, Akio Morita, the young engineer, listened to the Emperor’s surrender address alone rather than in the company of other naval officers so he wouldn't be pressured to commit ritual suicide. #3 The war required an ever-increasing quantity of calculations, which led to the development of electrical computers that could be reprogrammed. #4 The war required an ever-increasing quantity of calculations, which led to the development of electrical computers that could be reprogrammed.

But here, too, China is catching up, with its chip-building ambitions and military modernization going hand in hand. America has let key components of the chip-building process slip out of its grasp, contributing not only to a worldwide chip shortage but also a new Cold War with a superpower adversary that is desperate to bridge the gap. Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War shows that, to make sense of the current state of politics, economics, and technology, we must first understand the vital role played by chips.

The Struggle to Save the Soviet Economy by Chris Miller Pdf

For half a century the Soviet economy was inefficient but stable. In the late 1980s, to the surprise of nearly everyone, it suddenly collapsed. Why did this happen? And what role did Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's economic reforms play in the country's dissolution? In this groundbreaking study, Chris Miller shows that Gorbachev and his allies tried to learn from the great success story of transitions from socialism to capitalism, Deng Xiaoping's China. Why, then, were efforts to revitalize Soviet socialism so much less successful than in China? Making use of never-before-studied documents from the Soviet politburo and other archives, Miller argues that the difference between the Soviet Union and China--and the ultimate cause of the Soviet collapse--was not economics but politics. The Soviet government was divided by bitter conflict, and Gorbachev, the ostensible Soviet autocrat, was unable to outmaneuver the interest groups that were threatened by his economic reforms. Miller's analysis settles long-standing debates about the politics and economics of perestroika, transforming our understanding of the causes of the Soviet Union's rapid demise.
