Jose Luis Ricón Fernández de la Puente, an independent researcher who runs the blog nintil.com, complicates our previous week's ChinaTalk on U.S. industrial policy with Rob Atkinson. We discuss whether the state invented the iPhone, if the trends of history are pointing Taiwan’s direction, why the way we fund science is broken, what mass conversions to Mormonism would mean for the American economy and, if you stick around to the end, how to live forever.

This episode was brought to you by the Korea Foundation, which has sponsored a series of ChinaTalk episodes supplementing my forthcoming paper coming out next month entitled "Labs not Fabs: How the U.S. Should Invest in the Future of Semiconductors." This research was hosted by the Eurasia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
