Confessions of an economic hit man

la cara oculta del imperialismo americano
Book • 2004
In this semi-autobiographical book, John Perkins recounts his experiences as an economist for the engineering consulting firm Chas.

T. Main.

He describes how he was trained and used by the NSA to convince leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects.

These loans, contracted to U.S.

companies, trapped the countries in a system of American influence and control, benefiting local elites and wealthy families but burdening the general population with unrepayable debts.

Perkins criticizes U.S.

foreign policy and the corporatocracy that drives global exploitation, highlighting his interactions with significant figures and his eventual transformation into an activist advocating for sustainable and regenerative systems.
