Synopsis
John Perkins writes of his experiences in a job that few people are aware exists: economists whose primary 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 U.S. When these countries 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 U.S. 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.
