Eddie Fishman: 在我看来,我们已经进入了经济战时代,制裁、关税和出口管制已成为大国之间竞争的主要方式。这种转变与90年代的全球化时代形成对比,当时政府较少干预经济。我写这本书的动机源于我在国务院应对俄罗斯2014年入侵乌克兰的经历,当时我意识到我们对制裁的理解不足,尽管我们依赖它们来实现雄心勃勃的目标。为了让美国在这个经济战时代取得成功,我们需要提升我们的水平,了解哪些有效,哪些无效,以及我们是如何走到这一步的。扼制点是指全球经济中一个国家占据主导地位,几乎没有替代品的部分,而且建立可行的替代方案需要时间。随着扼制点的出现,总统甚至财政部的官员可以通过签署文件对外国施加巨大的经济痛苦。国家安全人员被经济战的便利性所诱惑,而传统的经济学家则认为这是对自由市场运作方式的歪曲。我们在90年代拥抱自由市场全球化,当时我们认为不会有任何地缘政治竞争,但现在我们面临着更加复杂的地缘政治环境。
