Chokepoints tells the epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to confront a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. In conversation with CGEP Founding Director Jason Bordoff, Fishman will discuss how control over economic chokepoints—such as the U.S. dollar, advanced microchip technology, and critical energy supply chains—has become the key to geopolitical power in the 21st century. Fishman and Bordoff will explore the evolution of U.S. sanctions, export controls, and tariffs over recent decades, and how the new Trump administration is likely to use these tools in the years ahead. This is the first event of Fishman’s book tour and will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A followed by a book signing.
This event is open to the public and will be hosted in person in New York City.
Advance registration is required. Capacity is limited. The event will be recorded and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.
This event is open to press, and registration is required to attend. For media inquiries or requests for interviews, please contact Adam Kilduff ([email protected]). For more information about the event, please contact [email protected].
