Is America Making Itself Irrelevant?

This week, I’m joined by Kyle Chan, author of the recent NYTimes Op-Ed titled "In the Future, China Will Be Dominant. The U.S. Will Be Irrelevant." Exploring the intense competitive pressures of Chinese “involution capitalism” and America’s fixation on shareholder returns, we discuss America’s waning relevance in global technology and manufacturing, and how critical choices made now could shape the economic and geopolitical landscape for decades. Chan is a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University, an adjunct researcher at the RAND Corporation, and the author of the High Capacity newsletter.
