Suggestion: A Game As Old As Empire

I was intrigued when I heard an interview with John Perkins upon the release of the first book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. This second book is a compilation from others. A different angled follow-up to the Beah book -- cuz, how are they getting all those guns and drugs in the African jungle?


"John Perkins exposed this shocking secret world in Confessions, his first-person account of his own life as an Economic Hit Man, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Here, other economic hit men, journalists, and investigators join Perkins to reveal many more deeply disturbing stories of greed and international corruption. In gripping detail, they describe the schemes and subterfuges that multinational corporations, governments, powerful individuals, financial institutions, and quasi-governmental agencies use to line their pockets behind the façade of “foreign aid” and “international development.” "
