SynopsisThe previous edition of this now-classic book revealed the existence and subversive manipulations of "economic hit men". John Perkins wrote that they "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars." In this latest edition, in an explosive new section Perkins describes how the EHM tools are being used around the world more widely than ever., Featuring 15 explosive new chapters, this new edition of the New York Times bestseller brings the story of Economic Hit Men up-to-date and, chillingly, home to the U.S.but it also gives us hope and the tools to fight back. Former economic hit man John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the US and everywhere else--to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today. Finally, he gives an insider view of what we each can do to change it. Economic hit men are the shock troops of what Perkins calls the corporatocracy, a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments, and the rich and powerful people tied to them. If the EHMs can't maintain the corrupt status quo through nonviolent coercion, the jackal assassins swoop in. The heart of this book is a completely new section, over 100 pages long, that exposes the fact that all the EHM and jackal tools--false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, unbridled military power--are used around the world today exponentially more than during the era Perkins exposed over a decade ago. As dark as the story gets, this reformed EHM also provides hope. Perkins offers specific actions each of us can take to transform what he calls a failing Death Economy into a Life Economy that provides sustainable abundance for all.

An Insightful and Compelling Read
The author explains happenings behind media headlines on subjects like: how small nations are plungered, how industry and the military combine in ways not to the national benefit, but in the interest of the wealthy.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
