How do we stop the unrelenting evolution of the economic hit man strategy and China’s takeover?
The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestseller blows the whistle on China’s economic hit man (EHM) strategy, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions for curing the degenerative Death Economy. In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation.
EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint. Twelve explosive new chapters detail the allure, exploitation, and wreckage of China’s EHM strategy in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
If allowed to continue its rampage, the EHM strategy—whether executed by the United States or China—will destroy life as we know it. However, all is not lost. Perkins offers a plan for transforming this system that places profits above all into a Life Economy that restores the earth. He inspires listeners to take actions toward a new era of global cooperation that will end the United States’s and China’s EHM strategies for good.

What distinguishes this book is Perkins' ability to distill complex geopolitical phenomena into accessible narratives without compromising on depth or accuracy. His firsthand accounts offer unparalleled insight into the inner workings of a system designed to consolidate wealth and influence at the expense of entire populations.
While Perkins' narrative is compelling in its own right, it's essential to acknowledge the broader context beyond the pages of the book. Hidden circles of power within the tripartite state exert considerable control over global affairs, shaping policies and outcomes to suit their agendas. Although this aspect may not be explicitly addressed in Perkins' work, it's a critical dimension to consider when comprehensively analyzing global power dynamics.
In essence, "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" is not just a book; it's a paradigm-shifting exploration of the forces that shape our world. Whether you're an academic scholar or an informed citizen, this book offers invaluable insights that challenge conventional wisdom and prompt deeper reflection on the nature of power and influence in our society.

Author appears to believe NSA (conservatives) pre-screened him and decided even though he's a Liberal and is against everything they believe in went to great lengths to send his perfect woman his way in order to seduce him (he's married btw) and tempt him to keep this all a secret as he lies and/or threatens to other nations into taking a loan from the World Bank that they can't pay back so America (because America is the world bank lol) can force them to be a democratic nation who does whatever they say (so not really democratic). If he betrays them, he will be murdered. Then he quit because he was traumatized by how evil he was so he decided to accept at least 3x the money to defend companies in court who benefited from his lies and lies to the courts instead. This is all causing Global Warming, Climate Change and the Chinese are doing a little bit better job than us but just a little.

The update on China is worth it. There are some middle chapters that bog you down a bit in negativity, but worth fighting through to the end, for sure.
Should be required as economic ethics material for all economics and finance university students everywhere.
