1189: Edward Fishman | Why the Dollar Is America's Most Potent Weapon

Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show. Sanctions, economic warfare, take a lot of heat. People are like, wouldn't we be better off through development assistance and peace rather than economic war? But like the reality is the alternative to economic war often isn't peace. It's actually a real nuclear crisis.

It's actually real war. We should be willing to risk quite a bit to to make economic warfare succeed against the likes of Russia and Iran, because the alternative is worse. Welcome to the show.
