If you want to understand whats happening to the world economy, start right here.

It used to take blockades and sieges to ravage a rivals 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.
