Rescuing Reason - E9 - Taiwanese Microchips
Microchips are essential components of almost everything we humans make today. Yet, about 90% of the world's microchips come from one country: Taiwan. Given how essential these components are to global manufacturing and trade, the West should be concerned about its reliance on an island that is under threat of invasion from China. This episode explores the history of microchips; how they ended up being almost entirely produced in Taiwan, and what the West should consider doing to protect its supply chain.
