The economy is being weaponized, a Cold War is the best outcome, says historian Edward Fishman
- Edward Fishman worked for various US government departments and was involved in sanctions against Russia and Iran.
- In his first book, Chokepoints , he describes how interdependencies are used as a weapon in 'economic warfare'.
- Tensions could rise if the major players do not forge alliances but want to become completely independent.
Globalization brought unprecedented prosperity, but it also laid the foundation for the current era. According to former American diplomat Edward Fishman, this is one of economic warfare. "We've lost our sense of economic security."
