Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eChokepoints\u003c\/i\u003e, Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, in which America renounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting America's dominance in global finance and technology. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these unconventional weapons to address the most pressing national-security threats, for good and for ill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChokepoints\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thrilling account of one of the most critical geopolitical developments of our time, demystifying the complex strategies the U.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America's enemies. At the center of the narrative is an eclectic group of policy innovators: the diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who've masterminded America's escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEconomic warfare has become the primary way the United States confronts international crises and counters rivals. Sometimes it has achieved spectacular success; other times, bitter failure. The result we live with today is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. \u003ci\u003eChokepoints\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of how America pioneered this new, hard-hitting style of economic war--and how it's changing the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Fishman\u003c\/b\u003e is a leading authority on economic statecraft and sanctions.
