Who Are Today's Economic Hit Men?
Former economic hit man (EHM) John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the U.S. and everywhere else to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today. Finally, he gives an insider view of what each of us can do to change it.
John Perkins was the front man for a system that traded in fraud, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and even murder. In The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man his extraordinary follow-up to Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Perkins continues to expose how government sanctioned EHMs create a system that has mired countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East in fear and debt and held them in servitude to US interests with the all-too frequent backing of CIA jackal assassins and the military.
Now this unholy alliance he calls the "corporatocracy" has spread its cancer into the heart of America.
But as dark as this true story gets, the reformed EHM provides us with light to see our way through this living nightmare. He offers specific ideas and strategies for how each of usstudents, entrepreneurs, middle-aged people, retirees, and corporate executives can take actions to transform the failing Death Economy into a Life Economy that can regenerate devastated resources and provide abundance for future generations.
John Perkins has written nine books that have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than seventy weeks and translated into over thirty languages. He has lectured at Harvard, Oxford, and more than 50 other universities around the world, and been featured on ABC, NBC, CNN, NPR, A&E, the History Channel, Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Der Spiegel, and many other publications. He is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, nonprofits devoted to establishing a world our children will want to inherit.
