An Insider’s Look at Trump’s Bold Economic Strategy.

“From the trade negotiations with China to implementing the CARES Act during the pandemic, Mitchell Silk played a critical role during some of the most challenging economic moments in recent history.” —Steven T. Mnuchin, 77th Secretary of the US Treasury

When Donald J. Trump took office in 2021, the world braced for disruption. From trade wars to tariffs, from rewriting the rules on China to reimagining America’s role in global infrastructure finance, his administration launched one of the most dramatic shifts in US economic policy in decades.

In A Seat at the Table, Mitchell A. Silk—former senior US Treasury official and the first Chassidic Jew confirmed by the Senate to such a role—offers a rare, behind-the-scenes account of how Trump’s economic revolution unfolded at home and abroad during his first term. Drawing on years of experience in finance, law, and diplomacy, Silk takes readers into high-stakes negotiations with China, the creation of groundbreaking infrastructure finance frameworks in Latin America and Asia, and the whirlwind crafting of the CARES Act that saved hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
