Overview
ACAMS is excited to host a virtual launch of “Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare” by renowned economic statecraft and sanctions expert, Edward Fishman. Join us for an engaging presentation followed by a Q&A session to learn more about the modern economics arms race. "CHOKEPOINTS" is the definitive account of how America has pioneered a new, hard-hitting style of economic warfare—and how it’s changing the world. In a shift from decades past, the United States now relies on economic warfare to confront global crises and counter rivals. The result is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. In "CHOKEPOINTS", Edward Fishman takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy. 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—and successive U.S. presidents have relied on these weapons to address the most pressing national security threats, for good and for ill. Thank you to Edward Fishman for sharing his expert insights with the ACAMS Community. We look forward to seeing you at this exclusive event.
