Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins

In this eye-opening New York Times bestseller, John Perkins exposes the dark world of “economic hit men”—highly paid professionals who deceive countries around the globe, cheating them out of trillions of dollars. Armed with tools like fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, and even murder, these operatives serve the interests of U.S. corporations and government agencies.

John Perkins knows this world intimately—he was an economic hit man. His job was to persuade strategically important countries to accept massive loans for infrastructure projects, ensuring that U.S. companies received the lucrative contracts. Burdened with enormous debts, these countries fell under the control of the U.S. government, the World Bank, and other U.S.-dominated institutions that acted as loan sharks, dictating repayment terms and pressuring governments into submission.

This book uncovers a web of international intrigue, corruption, and covert activities with grave consequences for American democracy and global stability. Yet, it also offers hope—a vision for creating a just and compassionate world that upholds the true American dream and ensures greater security for all.
