Please join us for the launch of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, a new book by CGEP Senior Research Scholar Edward Fishman.
Chokepoints tells the epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to confront a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. In conversation with CGEP Founding Director Jason Bordoff, Fishman will discuss how control over economic chokepoints—such as the U.S. dollar, advanced microchip technology, and critical energy supply chains—has become the key to geopolitical power in the 21^st century. Fishman and Bordoff will explore the evolution of U.S. sanctions, export controls, and tariffs over recent decades, and how the new Trump administration is likely to use these tools in the years ahead. This is the first event of Fishman’s book tour and will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A followed by a book signing.
