Now all it takes is a statement posted\nonline by the U.S. government.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Chokepoints, Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions\nofficial, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold\nhistory of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, in which America\nrenounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. As\nVladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world\nstage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of\neconomic weapons, exploiting America's dominance in global finance and\ntechnology. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these unconventional\nweapons to address the most pressing national-security threats, for good and\nfor ill.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nChokepoints provides a thrilling account of one of the most critical\ngeopolitical developments of our time, demystifying the complex strategies the\nU.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and\nBig Oil against America's enemies. At the center of the narrative is an\neclectic group of policy innovators: the diplomats, lawyers, and financial\nwhizzes who've masterminded America's escalating economic wars against Russia,\nChina, and Iran.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEconomic warfare has become the primary way the United States confronts\ninternational crises and counters rivals. Sometimes it has achieved spectacular\nsuccess; other times, bitter failure. The result we live with today is a new\nworld order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global\neconomy. Chokepoints is the definitive account of how America\npioneered this new, hard-hitting style of economic war-and how it's changing\nthe world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/header\u003e","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006847541455,"sku":"9798217183531","price":23.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_75c47d90-a2c1-450e-9494-8ff262baeb99.webp?v=1777338894","url":"https:\/\/popular.com.sg\/products\/chokepoints-american-power-in-the-age-of-economic-warfare-international-edition-paperback","provider":"Popular Book Company Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
