Chokepoints: How Economic Warfare is Changing the World is a nonfiction work of geopolitical analysis by Edward Fishman, a former U.S. sanctions official and scholar of international relations. The book examines how economic warfare, rather than conventional military force, has become one of the central instruments of state power in the 21st century. Its focus is on chokepoints: critical nodes in finance, technology, energy, and trade that give countries outsized leverage over rivals. Fishman uses a chronological, policy-driven narrative to show how the United States and its allies built sanctions and export controls into a sophisticated strategic toolkit after 9/11, then expanded and tested that toolkit against Iran, Russia, and China. The book is both an account of modern statecraft and a warning about the limits of interdependence in an era of great-power competition.
