We are speaking today with Chris Miller, the author of the international best selling Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology.

We talk about the worse case scenario if TSMC went off line, if the race for technology collapsed the Soviet economy, the limits of Moore's Law, and why Morris Chang, the founder of TSMC, should be more well known.

Chris Miller is Assistant Professor of International History at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University where he teaches on US-Russian relations. He also serves as Jeane Kirkpatrick Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Eurasia Director at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and as a Director at Greenmantle, a New York and London-based macroeconomic and geopolitical consultancy. He is the author of three previous books—Putinomics,The Struggle to Save the Soviet Economy, and We Shall Be Masters—and he frequently writes for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The American Interest, and other outlets. He received a PhD in history from Yale University and a BA in history from Harvard University.
