Book Launch — Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare

Past Event

February 27, 2025

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm est

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]).

Assessing US Government Efforts to Support Fossil Fuel–Reliant Communities

The decline of domestic fossil fuel production in the United States poses serious economic risks for communities that rely on fossil fuel industries for jobs and public revenues. Many of these communities lack the resources and capacity to manage those risks on their own. The absence of viable economic strategies for affected regions is a barrier to building the broad, durable coalitions needed for an equitable national transition to cleaner energy sources.
