Incredible Interview! I love both of you guys content and specifically when it comes to conglomerates!
I just had a small question regarding the chaebols and Zaibatsu that were mentioned in Q8.
So I have read a bunch about these Korean and Japanese conglomerates, and the conclusion I get is that it was more due to the government that they ended up being “international national champion manufacturing powerhouses” than the entrepreneurs themselves. What I mean by this is that if Park Chung Hee did not take over Korea in the 60s the Chaebols today would have been more like South East Asian Conglomerates rather than what they are today, because before him they were just happy taking monopolistic domestic industries like sugar and textiles ( which was what Samsung dominated at back then ) rather than what was necessary to industrialize SK. So does it have to do more with business men or governments what do you guys think?
Fantastic and interview with a great YouTuber in the semiconductor industry. High praise.
Damn wasn't expecting this Collab
Yes, it was a privilege being able to ask these questions to Jon. He's a phenomenon.
