  Iran is taking the global economy hostage.

• 00:03

  It has demanded a complete end to, quote, aggression and assassinations,

• 00:08

  guarantees that it wo n't be attacked again, and compensation for war damage.

• 00:13

  And if its demands are refused, well, good luck getting the Strait of Hormuz open again.

• 00:18

  This week, we are going to ask a leading expert on economic weaponry how we got here and what comes next.

• 00:24

  Can the hostage that is the global economy be released?

• 00:34

  This is The Economics Show with Samaya Keynes.

  I'm joined this week by Eddie Fishman speaking to me from New York.

• 00:41

  Eddie is currently at the Council on Foreign Relations.

• 00:44

  And before we get started, I really wanted to recommend Eddie's book,

• 00:47

  which is called Choke Points, How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War.

• 00:52

  And I will share that I listened to it while jogging around my local park,

• 00:57

  taking breaks from writing my own book, How to Win a Trade War.

• 01:01

  And it's just this incredibly rich account of economic weaponry over the 2010s and early 2020s.

• 01:07

  I cannot recommend it highly enough.

• 01:09

  And of course, it leaves Eddie perfectly positioned to comment on the economic warfare that we are seeing today.

• 01:14

  So Eddie, hello.

• 01:16

  Thank you so much for having me on your show.

• 01:18

  Thanks for being on.

• 01:19

  So are you busy right now?
