Podcasts about Economic warfare

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.

Steve Bannon: Trump Is Waging ‘Economic Warfare' on the Chinese Communist Party This is the full version of Jan Jekielek's interview with Steve Bannon. 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. And that's why I say we're living in historic times,” says Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist during President Donald Trump's first administration and host of the “War Room” show. “It's not just tariffs. They're a tool. [Trump]'s reorganizing the world system of commerce and of trade,” Bannon says. In this episode, we dive into the U.S.–China trade war, Trump's tariff strategy, his first 100 days in office, and where America is headed in the weeks and months to come. “The next 100 days are going to be three times more intense, dramatic, and meaningful than the first 100 days,” Bannon says.

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.

From reckless spending to blatant money laundering, we're breaking down how our government has been misusing our hard-earned tax dollars—and why this corruption must be stopped. Transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords; they're essential for restoring actual integrity to our system. Tune in as we expose what's really going on behind the scenes and why this fight matters for all of us.—Buy Teddy's book, Dethrone Davos: https://www.amazon.com/Dethrone-Davos-America-Theodore-Pierce-ebook/dp/B0D5NKGGNC—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/collections/all

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.
