If you want to understand what’s happening to the world economy, start right here.
It used to take blockades and sieges to ravage a rival’s economy. Now, a single statement posted online by the US government can bring a nation to its knees.
Chokepoints is a gripping behind-the-scenes account of one of the most pivotal geopolitical shifts of our time. Drawing on extensive research, personal experience and interviews with key players, Edward Fishman, a former top US State Department official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power around the world. He reveals how sanctions, tariffs and control over modern-day chokepoints – such as the US dollar, advanced microchip technology and critical energy supply chains – have become the primary weapons of twenty-first-century geopolitics.
This is the epic story of how America turned economics into a weapon – and how China, Europe and Britain are now doing the same. Urgent and brimming with rare insight, Chokepoints is the definitive guide to the Age of Economic Warfare.
Edward Fishman is one of the world’s leading authorities on economic statecraft and sanctions. He teaches at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and is a senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy. He previously served at the US State Department, the Pentagon and the Treasury Department, earning awards for his work implementing the Iran nuclear deal and designing and negotiating sanctions on Russia after its 2014 annexation of Crimea. His analysis is regularly featured by the BBC, Financial Times, Economist, New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and he frequently writes for publications such as Foreign Affairs and Politico. He holds a BA in History from Yale, an M.Phil in International Relations from Cambridge and an MBA from Stanford.
