Synopsis
John Perkins, in this controversial book, defines a job that few people are aware of: economists whose sole function is to persuade developing countries to take on enormous loans so that they can hire American companies, thus diverting vast sums of money back into the US. When these governments have trouble repaying, the American government steps in and dictates terms, essentially hijacking the economy of the place. Perkins's view of the domination of the global economy by the US and of the greed and power plays this involves, is a controversial one that his former employers attempted to suppress for many years. Perkins claims that this "confession" could pave the way for reform but that, if nothing else, it has eased his conscience.

Industry Reviews
"John Perkins was for 10 years a player in a high-stakes game of global empire. CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN is his very personal account of the events that forced him to choose between conscience and a glamorous life of power, luxury and beautiful women. It is also an adventure thriller worthy of Graham Green or John Le Carré that connects the dots between corporate globalization, American Empire, and the dynasty of the House of Bush."
Dragonfly Review - David C. Korten (11/01/2004)
