In this riveting memoir, author John Perkins details his former role as an 'economic hit man.' This stunning, behind-the-scenes expose reveals a conspiracy of corruption that has fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe. Perkins zeroes in on hot spots around the world and, drawing on interviews with other hit men, jackals, CIA operatives, reporters, and activists, examines the current geopolitical crisis. Instability is the norm: It's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer sustainable. How did we get here? Who's responsible? What good have we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for the next generations? Addressing these questions and more, Perkins reveals the secret history behind the events that have created the American Empire.
