If you want to understand what is happening to the world economy, start with this behind-the-scenes account of one of the most pivotal geopolitical shifts of our time. Edward Fishman, a former senior US State Department official, draws on extensive research, personal experience and interviews with key players to examine how sanctions, tariffs and control over modern chokepoints, including the US dollar, advanced microchip technology and critical energy supply chains, have become the main weapons of twenty-first-century geopolitics.
