Exploring the Ideas Behind Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare by Edward Fishman: Insights on Global Influence and Strategy

Chokepoints is a compelling and dramatic narrative about how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to take on a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official, takes readers deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, where America renounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. Chokepoints demystifies the complex strategies the U.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America's enemies.
