Available:About this Book:- 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. Here, in this paperback edition of the book, the author has added intriguing new material focused on "America's Chip Comeback," which overviews the global consequences of the just passed CHIPS Act, the new export controls on China, and the effort to rally allies to better guard chip technology.

Does it take that much technology to make Doritos?
Haha. Well, Doritos "chips" use lots of artificial ingredients that jack up the profits of the medical sector.

Did you buy your tinfoil hat on here?
Remember history: During the Cold War, medical doctors profited from selling cigarettes. During the early 1900s, medical doctors sold unhealthy radiation as fake medicine. Starting in the 1990s, medical doctors worked with the Sackler family's Purdue Pharma then other drug companies to sell way too many opioid drugs to Americans. Etc.

Haha. I make my own tinfoil hat to avoid contamination & secret installation of espionage devices. Seriously though, excess consumption of junk food is causing lots of health problems in the USA & other nations, but government regulators & the medical community are failing to solve this problem, understating this problem, & actually trying to share profits with this problem.

Heck, it even applies to us as individuals. That is, we all (or a lot of us) work for money, and most of us probably wouldn't ask for less money or donate it away. At best, we'll donate a tiny portion of it. Granted most of us don't make enough either to donate, but we also spend money frivolously. Speaking of us as a group.
To go back to your point, a large part of the problem is the knowledge around it, and the trust we can have in the knowledge being shared. A combination of money, mis-information and the human capacity for greed, and we can see how fast we'll accept something. Because we're wired that way.
