About this listen
In this episode I talk with Kate Epstein about her new book "Analog Superpowers: How a 20th Century Technology Theft Built the National Security State."
Key points:
- The book focuses on the development of fire control technology for battleships in Britain and how the U.S. essentially stole this technology.
- The challenges of protecting military inventions through patents while maintaining secrecy.
- The concept of "technology laundering" and how nations rewrite history to appear more innovative.
- Parallels are drawn between UK-US tech transfers in the early 20th century, US-Soviet dynamics during the Cold War, and current US-China tensions.
- The evolution of export control laws is discussed, tracing their origins from British influence to modern-day semiconductor restrictions.
