- "Chokepoints is a thrilling 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. Here we meet an eclectic group of innovators: the diplomats, lawyers and financial whizzes who’ve masterminded a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting Western dominance in global finance and technology, and harnessing the power of Wall Street, the City of London and Silicon Valley to confront a rising authoritarian axis.??The sanctions against Russia might be the biggest coordinated act of economic warfare we’ve seen, but it won’t be the last. Control over modern-day chokepoints – such as the US dollar, advanced microchip technology and critical energy supply chains – has become the key to geopolitical power in the twenty-first century. The result is an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Utterly gripping and brimming with rare insight, Chokepoints is indispensable reading to understand the forces that will shape our world for decades to come."
