Chokepoints - American Power in an Age of Economic Warfare with Eddie FishmanAs China and the US jockey for geopolitical pre-eminence, the war to decide the victor will not necessarily be fought with missiles and drones. In fact, the economy has become the true weapon of choice with tariffs, export controls, currencies, and clearing networks serving as ammunition. Evidence of this economic warfare is obvious with China, Russia, and Iran specifically.My guest today has written a terrific book on these topics. Eddie Fishman is a scholar of international relations and former diplomat in the State Department who is currently a Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy and an Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.In this episode we discuss how economies have become weaponized and specifically what those weapons are. We dig into the use of tariffs, export controls and the power of the US Dollar and discuss whether or not the course we are on in dealing with Russia, Iran and China isn't ultimately self-defeating or if there is light at the end of the tunnel in the new “America First” geopolitical environment.If you enjoyed this discussion on export controls, tariffs, USD hegemony and their impacts, please share it far and wide and don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen.Thanks again and we'll see you next time.

In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.

Tom Bilyeu sits down with Andrew Bustamante, former CIA officer and founder of Everyday Spy, to uncover the hidden systems powering global politics, economics, and high-stakes decision-making. With his unique intelligence background, Andrew sheds light on why the world's power truly runs on leverage—not morality—challenging everything you think you know about secrets, national interest, and survival in the geopolitical arena. In Part 1, Tom and Andrew pull back the curtain on the international leverage game. From the true function of secrets like the Epstein and JFK files, to the mechanics of economic warfare and media manipulation, they explore how the powerful wield information to maintain dominance. The discussion dives deep into real-world examples, like the China spy balloon incident, and explores why governments only release classified documents when it serves their purposes. This episode will alter your perspective on government actions, international conflict, and the moral constructs imposed on society, arming you with a profound understanding of the “outcomes, not morality” worldview that drives the people in charge.

George Seay says Walmart (WMT) is "shooting the lights out" when it comes to its earnings. However, tariffs are creating a situation where Walmart and similar retailers may pass some of those costs to consumers. As George points out, they also face the conundrum of maximizing profits to appease investors. He later weighs how the U.S. needs to tackle the national deficit.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Max and Maria spoke with Edward Fishman about his bestselling book, Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare. 

Live from Saudi Arabia, this broadcast dives into Donald Trump's aggressive foreign policy strategy as he meets with global dignitaries, tech titans like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and Saudi leadership. The conversation explores the contrast between Trump's high-paced diplomacy and Biden's prior handling of Middle East affairs—highlighting the Biden administration's alleged softness on Al Qaeda and the weakening of U.S.-Saudi ties. The hosts argue that Trump is reasserting American influence by aligning with Saudi Arabia against China and Russia, restoring the petrodollar system, and leveraging U.S. military and technological power as bargaining chips. With sharp critiques of both Democratic and Republican spending policies, the episode frames Trump's visit as a turning point in global economic warfare and geopolitical realignment.

This episode forms part of a new strand of our podcast: Seapower Past and Present which explores seapower as it is understood and practised in the modern world whilst offering a historical perspective on the themes we explore. Each episode is chosen according to a theme or a location – a hotspot in the modern world where seapower has a major influence on geopolitics. So if you enjoy this episode do please seek out others in this strand – you will shortly be able to find episodes on economic warfare, critical national infrastructure, how technology is changing the nature of warfare at sea; and on hugely significant locations in the modern maritime world - the Black Sea, South China Sea, Middle East and Arctic.To make this series come alive we've teamed up with the Royal Navy Strategic Studies centre. In each episode you will hear from at least one historian and from at least one practitioner, a member of the armed forces who has direct first hand, personal experience of the topic being discussed.This episode explores economic warfare and how it relates to seapower. In a world in which we hear so much of sanctions being imposed on one country by another this is something that we all need to know about – not only to understand our modern world but also to understand how this particular aspect of it has been so clearly shaped by the past.To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with three experts, each with their own unique knowledge and experience. Dr Anna Brinkman is Associate Professor in the history of strategy and international law at the University of Lincoln and director of the maritime studies centre located at Britannia Royal Naval College, and Commander Andrew Livsay spent 25 years as a Royal Naval warfare officer and is now working for the Ministry of Defence while completing a PhD at King's College London.

Critical shipping routes around the world, from the Panama Canal to the Bosphorus Strait, hold strategic importance for global trade. As a result, these chokepoints are often caught in the crosshairs of geopolitical competition. But in a new age of economic warfare, invisible chokepoints are also emerging. The dominance of the US dollar, economic sanctions, and tariffs on imported goods can all be leveraged to achieve political goals. Meanwhile, nations are laying out plans to increase defense spending—potentially altering the outlook for productivity, industrial activity, and economic growth. With economic warfare becoming a lasting feature of the investment environment, new winners and losers based on country, region, sector and asset class could emerge. This episode of The Outthinking Investor explores how economic warfare, national security concerns, and friend-shoring in global trade are creating new implications for investors to consider. Our guests are: Edward Fishman, senior research scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy and author of the new book, “Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare” Katharine Neiss, PGIM Fixed Income's Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief European Economist Jeff Rathke, President of the American-German Institute at Johns Hopkins University and former American diplomat Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

The interview was originally released on Epoch TV on May 3, 2025. “Never before in history have two great trading entities ever engaged in outright economic warfare, like is being engaged today.

They're a tool. [Trump]'s reorganizing the world system of commerce and of trade,” Bannon says.

Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon invites Winston Marshall into the heart of the War Room to lay out the geopolitical, economic, and cultural revolution of Trump's second term.In the White House, the deportation of 10 million illegal immigrants is underway, with the Alien Enemies Act invoked and the administrative state under assault. Meanwhile, Secretary Marco Rubio warns that an Ukraine ceasefire must be achieved—or U.S. support ends.Bannon calls for total economic war on Iran—naval blockades, asset seizures, and sanctions—and rails against Qatari money, the CCP's long game, and the “network effect” eroding Western sovereignty.All this—China decoupling, World War III, Goldman globalists, and Trump's 100 days in office -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term4:27 Critique of Trump's Actions and Deportations 11:59 Geopolitical Analysis: Sovereigntists vs. Globalists 15:21 Negotiations with Iran and Hamas23:48 Qatar's Role in Global Politics 29:05 Escalation of Tensions with China 34:12 TikTok and Economic Warfare 42:07 Economic Warfare and the Chinese Communist Party 57:13 The Role of the European Union 1:00:16 Chinese Military Power and Kinetic War Possibilities1:04:44 Financial and Military Implications of a Kinetic War 1:07:46 Media Bias and Broadcast Licenses 1:09:07 Historical Context and Churchill's Role 1:18:42 Churchill's Heroism and Practicality 1:22:36 American Involvement and Churchill's Efforts 1:24:53 Future Plans and Special Relationship Hosted on Acast.

Eliot and Eric welcome Edward Fishman, Senior Research Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy and Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University's SIPA program and author of Chokepoints: American Power in The Age of Economic Warfare (New York: Portfolio/Penguin, 2025). They discuss the American tradition of reaching for economic sanctions as an alternative to kinetic military action or war and how U.S. policymakers have weaponized the role of the dollar in international finance to U.S. advantage as well as export controls like the Foreign Direct Product rule that weaponize U.S. cutting edge technologies. They discuss how these tools, if used inappropriately, can backfire as they arguably did in the early 1800s with the Non-Intercourse Act and the Embargo under Jefferson and Madison as well as the scrap metal and oil embargoes against Imperial Japan in 1940-1941. They consider the record of economic warfare in bringing Iran to the table for the negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), as a deterrent to Russian military action against Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 and then as tools of attrition against the Russian war effort, as well as in the ongoing strategic competition with China. Finally, they consider whether we should see sanctions and economic warfare as limited tools that can achieve limited goals as opposed to fundamentally changing the behavior of America's authoritarian adversaries.

In Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, Edward Fishman argues that the nature of international power has fundamentally shifted from military might to economic statecraft.Fishman is a senior research scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy and an adjunct professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia. Previously, he served at the US State Department, leading work on economic sanctions. In his new book, he examines how governments—particularly the US's—are increasingly using financial tools, regulatory measures, and targeted sanctions to shape international relations, secure strategic advantages, and resolve conflicts.In his conversation with Nikolaus Lang, global leader of the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses the history of sanctions, how the US came to wield them so powerfully, how diplomatic back channels are navigated in applying them—and what is important for making them effective in enforcing the desired governance changes.Key topics discussed: 02:05 | The history of chokepoints and US dominance over them08:45 | The role of businesses in economic diplomacy12:17 | Navigating diplomatic back channels15:32 | The role of technology and export controls19:45 | Oil price caps as an innovation in sanctions design23:10 | The effectiveness of sanctions in enforcing governance changes27:44 | On the origins of this bookAdditional inspirations from Edward Fishman:Foreign Affairs: How Trump Could Dethrone the Dollar (April 8, 2025)

Eddie explains how the U.S. has wielded economic weapons against Russia, Iran, and China, and how sanctions and supply chain dominance are reshaping global power.

REALIGNMENT NEWSLETTER: https://therealignment.substack.com/PURCHASE BOOKS AT OUR BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail Us: realignmentpod@gmail.comEdward Fishman, author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, joins The Realignment. Edward and Marshall discuss the rise of economic warfare, from the War on Terror to the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, economic warfare track record when it comes to accomplishing desired political outcomes, the impact of American sanctions on Russia and whether their effects were overstated at the war's outset, the potential deterring effects of economic warfare, their potential use in a U.S.-China conflict over Taiwan, and the greater meaning of the end of the globalization era of the 1990s and 2000s.

Edward Fishman, senior research scholar and adjunct professor at Columbia University and author of Chokepoints: American Power in an Age of Economic Warfare, sits down with James M. Lindsay to discuss the United States' expanded use of financial and trade sanctions in recent years and whether they have enabled Washington to accomplish its foreign policy objectives.   Mentioned on the Episode:    Edward Fishman, Chokepoints: American Power in an Age of Economic Warfare For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/tpi/new-era-economic-warfare-edward-fishman

Edward Fishman, a former top sanctions official in the U.S. Department of State, says that “the world economy has become a battlefield,” with sanctions, tariffs, and embargoes as the U.S.'s primary tools for engagement. But after years of U.S. sanctions against Russia and a Ukraine truce still out of reach, are they effective? In his new book “Chokepoints,” Fishman examines the history of economic warfare and when it has helped the U.S. achieve its strategic goals and when it has fallen short. He joins us.

Jon Herold kicks off the show with Dr. Stella Immanuel for a quick but fiery conversation about the so-called measles outbreak and the push for more vaccines. Is this just another manufactured health crisis? Dr. Stella weighs in on the fear campaign and the importance of natural immunity. After that, Jon dives into the judicial war on Trump, exposing Judge Boasberg's shady past with the Russia collusion hoax and his latest attempt to block Trump's mass deportations. Meanwhile, the economic battlefield heats up as Trump's tariffs push Nvidia and other major companies to bring manufacturing back to the US. The deep state is losing control, and the panic is setting in.    

Economic 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. It used to be that ravaging another country's economy required blockading its ports and laying siege to its cities. Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government. Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official and author of the new book Chokepoints, goes 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. Join us as Fishman shares 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.

Michael Savage discusses economic warfare and critical minerals with Edward Fishman, a leading expert on economic statecraft. Fishman explains the significance of critical minerals like graphite, titanium, and rare earth elements in the geopolitical landscape as President Trump and Ukranian President Zelensky negotiate the high stakes minerals deal. They discuss the implications of U.S. reliance on China for these materials and the strategic importance of diversifying supply chains. Fishman also shares insights from his New York Times Bestseller "Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare," detailing how economic leverage is used in modern warfare. The discussion touches upon historical economic policies, the complexities of U.S.-China relations, and potential strategies for strengthening American economic resilience.

This past week, President Trump paused military funding for Ukraine and later threatened sanctions on Russia. Meanwhile, the President rolled back tariffs on certain exports from Mexico and Canada but still plans to impose “reciprocal” tariffs starting in early April. Edward Fishman, former Diplomat and author of Chokepoints and Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University dissects the current administration's approach to economic warfare and explains why the U.S. dollar is the country's most powerful weapon. Upon taking office, President Trump expressed that he wanted to reshape FEMA. Since then, the President has garnered support from House Republicans, many of whom are demanding a complete overhaul of the agency. Congressman Mark Harris (R-NC) is one of them. He explains his concerns with FEMA and discusses the legislative route to enacting meaningful change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

U.S. President Trump has extended the aims of his first presidential term's “maximum pressure campaign” by slapping additional sanctions on Iran. Djavad Salehi-Isfahani, Professor of Economics at Virginia Tech, describes the detrimental effects of U.S. sanctions on Iran's economy and society. Salehi-Isfahani illustrates how the sanctions' differentiated effects often result in them being “invisible” to certain segments of Iranian society, leaving some Iranians convinced that their government is solely to blame for the country's economic woes. In addition, he asserts that the combined effects of U.S. sanctions and Iran's policy choices continue to hollow out the Iranian middle class: while the government has assisted the poor with large direct cash transfer programs, it has largely ignored the demands of its middle class. 

Edward Fishman, author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, is back to discuss the immense power of tariffs, and economic leverage—and how Trump's understanding (or lack thereof) of these tools. Plus, Trump grumbles to British PM Keir Starmer that Ukraine isn't paying back U.S. aid, and in The Spiel, what Democrats can actually stand for beyond simply resisting Trump. Mark Cuban suggests it's about execution, not slogans.
