Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare | Book Launch and Conversation with Eddie Fishman
Thursday, Dec. 11 | 7-9 p.m.
Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History

What happens when the world’s most powerful nation turns its economy into a weapon? In his gripping new bestseller “Chokepoints: American Power in the Era of Economic Warfare,” former United States State Department official Eddie Fishman reveals how the United States has reshaped global conflict — not through troops or tanks, but by weaponizing its dominance in finance, trade and technology. With unprecedented access and insider perspective, Fishman takes participants behind the scenes of America’s economic campaigns against Russia, China and especially Iran, where sanctions have become a central tool in the high-stakes struggle over nuclear ambitions and regional power.
