Chokepoints by Edward Fishman
"A good "how the sausage gets made" book.

Everyone knows that over roughly the past twenty years America has turned to economic warfare (sanctions, export controls, etc) when real war is undesirable and diplomacy isn't working. Whatever you may think " Read more of this review »

Chokepoints by Edward Fishman
“We don’t yet know when the Age of Economic Warfare will end, but we can envision how. The trade-offs facing policymakers in Washington, Beijing, Brussels, and Moscow can be thought of as an impossible trinity consisting of economic interdependence, economic security, and geopolitical competition. Any two of these can coexist but not all three.”

“We don’t yet know when the Age of Economic Warfare will end, but we can envision how. The trade-offs facing policymakers in Washington, Beijing, Brussels, and Moscow can be thought of as an impossible trinity consisting of economic interdependence, economic security, and geopolitical competition. Any two of these can coexist but not all three.”
― Edward Fishman, Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare

“The world economy is experiencing what scholars call a “security dilemma”: as one state builds up its economic arsenal to improve its security, others feel less secure and build up their own arsenals in turn. The resulting economic arms race will likely intensify in the years ahead. And as soon as government or business leaders come to view an economic dependency as a vulnerability, they cannot unsee it. Even if a new U.S. administration vowed to restrain the use of sanctions, Chinese leaders would still not feel comfortable relying so heavily on the dollar. Likewise, no amount of reassurance from Beijing would placate American concerns about depending on China for pharmaceuticals or critical minerals. Trust, once lost, is not easily regained.”
