Confessions of an Economic Hitman

John Perkins' book is the first autobiographical account in the world about the life, training, and methods of a special ultra-secret group of "economic hitmen," top-level professionals tasked with working with the highest political and economic leaders of the countries of interest to the United States. Their goal is to enslave entire countries and peoples by imposing trap megaprojects that supposedly ensure accelerated development, but in reality, turn once-sovereign states into parts of a new global empire. In this confessional book, which became a bestseller in the U.S. and Europe, John Perkins reveals the hidden springs of global economic policy, explaining the strange "coincidences" and "accidents" of recent times that have drastically changed our lives. 

The book is intended for a wide audience interested in the pressing problems of the modern world.
