Super Short Summary

The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins continues the author's revelations about how American corporations and the US government manipulate developing countries through major development loans that inevitably lead to economic control. Perkins recounts his own experiences as an "economic hit man," coercing poor nations into accepting these loans, and discusses how these practices have extended into the US itself while new global players such as China enter the arena. The book contains sensitive discussions of political assassinations, corruption, and economic exploitation.
