Edward Fishman: How Economic Warfare is Changing the World image
Synopsis:

The global oil market follows critical arteries, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is a demonstration of the fragility of the system; a block at any one point has far-reaching effects, and global influence can be wielded through disruption. Leading authority on economic statecraft and sanctions, Edward Fishman joins us today to discuss Chokepoints, offering a timely illumination of modern economic warfare in the age of globalisation.
