Скачать или смотреть Chokepoints & Power: How the World Economy Got Weaponized

In today’s episode, we break down how supply chains, finance, and cutting-edge tech have become pressure points in a new era of “weaponized interdependence.” Drawing on Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman’s essay in Foreign Affairs (Sept/Oct 2025), we explain how sanctions, export controls, and key network chokepoints are reshaping great-power competition—and why the U.S., China, and allies are all learning to press and protect these levers.

You’ll hear what the authors say about semiconductor controls, rare-earth dependencies, and the politics of AI hardware and “weights.” We also cover the growing pushback—from courts, allies, and firms—and the case for rebuilding U.S. economic-security institutions with clearer rules and real expertise.
