Hello and welcome to the Chip War episode of Slate Money. Your guide to the business and

finance news of the week. I'm Felix Aminit Axios. Here with Liz with Spires. Hello.

Hello. Hello. And we are talking about semiconductors this week. This is a subject we haven't talked

nearly enough about given it's absolutely central importance to absolutely everything on the planet.

One of the reasons that we haven't talked nearly enough about it is because we haven't had the

perfect person to come on and talk about it. But now we do. Chris Miller introduce yourself.

I'm Chris Miller, associate professor at the Flexures School and author of a new book called

Chip War the Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology. And you just won the FT Book of the Year Award.

That's right. Yes. Which means your book is the best book that was published last year.

According to the FT I guess. Well congratulations on that. We will talk a lot about your book.

We're talking about war and weaponry. We're talking about globalization versus internationalization.

We're talking about quantum lithography and we're talking about Moore's Law. We have a whole bunch of

really interesting stuff coming up. But basically if you want to understand the most important factor that

has driven technological advance for the past 50 years and probably well for the next 50 years.
