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. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these weapons to address the most pressing national security threats—for good and for ill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChokepoints\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thrilling account of one of the most transformative developments of our time, demystifying how the U.S. government harnesses the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America’s enemies. At the center of the narrative are the trailblazing diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who have masterminded America’s escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControl over economic chokepoints—such as the U.S. dollar, advanced microchip technology, and critical minerals—has become the key to geopolitical power in the twenty-first century. The result is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. \u003ci\u003eChokepoints\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of how America pioneered a new, hard-hitting style of economic warfare—and how it’s changing the world.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46719085314258,"sku":"9780593712979","price":54.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46719085347026,"sku":"aff744f4-13dc-336e-8014-2f6d1384b60a","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_3242bcec-76ed-42b1-b7bd-7f2c04b97b4b.jpg?v=1771963055","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/chokepoints-american-power-in-the-age-of-economic-warfare","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
