New Confessions of an Economic Hitman

In the previous edition, John Perkins exposes the destructive machinations of "economic hitmen": he writes that they are highly paid professionals who siphon trillions of dollars from countries around the world. They use methods such as falsified financial statements, rigged elections, blackmail, extortion, sex, and murder.
Perkins himself worked in lending: his job was to persuade strategically important states to borrow gigantic sums of money for large-scale "scientific and technical" projects aimed at maintaining the interests of the wealthiest individuals, while plunging countries into poverty and debt. The bigger the country's debt, the easier it is to control.
In the new edition, Perkins details how he and others like him carried out their work. The book is supplemented by documentary evidence of the activities of the "economic hitmen" from 2004 to 2015, as well as a scandalous section stating that today the methods of the "economic hitmen" are being applied much more actively than ever before - even in America itself. The new material is dedicated to countries: Seychelles, Honduras, Ecuador, Libya, Turkey, Vietnam, China, the USA, and Western Europe.
Fear and debt are the foundations of the economic hitman system. We are intimidated into paying any amount, incurring any debt. The economic hitman system - fictitious economy, bribery, surveillance, deception, debt, coups, murders, the abuse of military force - has turned into a dominant economic, governmental, and social system.
John Perkins was the first to reveal the monstrous cynicism of the secret operations of the intelligence services and oligarchical clans of America that they carry out around the world. In terms of the importance of the schemes he uncovered, he stands alongside modern whistleblowers - Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, who are now being hunted by U.S. intelligence services.
