Reviews
It is rare to find a book that takes your breath away. This may be one such. The author tried five times to start writing this book but was threatened or bribed to desist. He remains optimistic. You may find reading this book, either entertaining, or provoking rage, apoplexy or intense depression. Judge for yourself. Business Economist, "A bombshell. One of those rare instances in which someone deeply entrenched in our governmental/corporate imperialist structure has come forward to reveal in unequivocal terms its inner workings. A work of great insight and moral courage." --John E. Mack, Harvard professor and Pulitzer prize-winning author of A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T. E. Lawrence "Perkins combines the brilliance and suspense of a Graham Greene thriller with the authority of his insider vantage point to tell a true, powerful, revealing, and bone chilling personal story that names names and connects the dots . . . " --David Korten, author of the bestselling When Corporations Rule the World "A stunning and groundbreaking book that is a must-read for anyone who cares about our world." --Lynne Twist, Global Activist, author of the bestselling The Soul of Money "... provocative and disturbing.... This book succeeds as a wake up call because the reader cannot help but assess his or her role on a personal level, thus providing an impetus for change." --R. Paul Shaw, former Lead Economist, currently Program Adviser, Human Development Group, World Bank Institute "Must reading for those who know another world is possible!" --Hazel Henderson, author of Beyond Globalization and Building a Win-Win World " ... a fascinating insider's view of how a private multinational company legally robs the poor of the third world, country after country." --Josh Mailman, cofounder, The Threshold Foundation, Social Venture Network, and Business for Social Responsibility " With unflinching honesty, Perkins narrates his moral awakening and struggle to break free from the corrupt system of global domination he himself helped to create. This book ... comes from the heart. I highly recommend it." --Michael Brownstein, author of World on Fire "A thrilling story. . . the true account of a deeply dedicated and courageous man..." --Stephan Rechtschaffen, M.D., CEO, Omega Institute, and author of Timeshifting, "A bombshell.  One of those rare instances in which someone deeply entrenched in our governmental/corporate imperialist structure has come forward to reveal in unequivocal terms its inner workings.  A work of great insight and moral courage." --John E.

Synopsis
"Economic hit men," John Perkins writes, "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder." John Perkins should know--he was an economic hit man. His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the U.S.--from Indonesia to Panama--to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development, and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to U. S. corporations. Saddled with huge debts, these countries came under the control of the United States government, World Bank and other U.S.-dominated aid agencies that acted like loan sharks--dictating repayment terms and bullying foreign governments into submission. This New York Times bestseller exposes international intrigue, corruption, and little-known government and corporate activities that have dire consequences for American democracy and the world. It is a compelling story that also offers hope and a vision for realizing the American dream of a just and compassionate world that will bring us greater security., Economic hit men are highly paid professionals who cheat countries out of trillions of dollars. They funnel World Bank, government and foreign aid funds into the coffers of international businesses and a few wealthy families. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion and murder.John Perkins was one of these hit men, and his first-hand account contains explosive revelations on Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American hotspots. He discloses the clandestine support received by Osama bin Laden as well as little-known facts about the relationship between the two most powerful dynasties in the world: the Bush family and the House of Saud. Confessions is a riveting book that reads like a classic spy novel., Economic hit men, John Perkins writes, are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. John Perkins should know - he was an economic hit man. This bestseller exposes intrigue, corruption, and government and corporate activities that have dire consequences.
