Substack detailing how US lost its edge in semi-conductor development, relying more on outsourcing, resulting in rise of TSMC in Taiwan 2/ @hassankhan : A short thread building on my piece with @tragicbios on the history of industrial policy in the US semiconductor industry and the endless frontiers act https://employamerica.medium.com/ ... Joel Michaels / @michaelsjoel : Crucial article by @tragicbios @hassankhan @employamerica. “Decades of minimized labor costs have shrunk the pool of skilled technologists...while decades of underinvestment in capacity hampered domestic firms' ability to respond to the present shortage.” https://employamerica.medium.com/ ... Max Jerneck / @maxjerneck : Important point about industrial policy in @tragicbios and @hassankhan piece on semiconductors. It's not about promoting efficiency or building national champions to avoid duplication. Duplication is the point. You have to tolerate “waste” https://employamerica.medium.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... Ryan Cooper / @ryanlcooper : “Labor is not just a cost center at the technological frontier, but rather, a critical input to the innovative process.” @tragicbios @hassankhan https://employamerica.medium.com/ ...
