El libro del año. Define el fin de la era de la globalización y explica el mayor conflicto geopolítico desde la guerra fría.PREMIO BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR DEL FINANCIAL TIMES MEJOR LIBRO DEL AÑO SEGUN THE ECONOMIST BEST SELLER DE THE NEW YORK TIMES Si hay un conflicto que esta definiendo ahora mismo la geopolitica mundial es la guerra de los chips. Todas las tecnologias actuales, de los misiles a los microondas, de los smartphones a los coches, funcionan con semiconductores. La economia mundial, el equilibrio de poderes, la supremacia militar y el desarrollo industrial dependen de su produccion constante. Hasta hace poco, Estados Unidos era el principal productor de semiconductores, lo que le permitia mantener su liderazgo como primera superpotencia mundial. Sin embargo, su posicion dominante se ve cada vez mas amenazada por competidores de Taiwan, Corea, Europa y, sobre todo, China, que inyecta anualmente miles de millones en un programa de fabricacion de procesadores con el fin de alcanzar a su competidor estadounidense.No solo esta en juego la prosperidad economica de Estados Unidos, sino tambien su superioridad militar. Chris Miller muestra como los microprocesadores han revolucionado el mundo y cambiado el curso de la Historia, y como la lucha por esta tecnologia podria conducir no solo a su escasez mundial, sino tambien al nacimiento de una nueva Guerra Fria con una superpotencia hostil desesperada por cubrir la brecha que la separa de su rival. Esclarecedor, pertinente y cautivador, La guerra de los chips es una obra esencial para entender el papel vital de esta tecnologia en la situacion politica y economica actual y el futuro que nos espera.
