Economic Hit Man
"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" is a quick read that at times reads like a thriller, at others like a boring diary entry and still other times like a historical account of events. John Perkins spent the 1970s working as an economic planner for an international consulting firm. His job was to travel to countries like Indonesia, Panama, Saudi Arabia and Colombia to forecast the economic feasibility to build a countries infrastructure using American companies.
We have heard/read about some if not all of the events he discusses but most likely have never connected the dots. By the end of the book it becomes clear that American companies and our government are using debt through legitimate means to keep nations subservient to the developed word.
