Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best seller, updated and expanded, featuring 15 explosive new chapters.
The previous edition of this now-classic book revealed the existence and subversive manipulations of "economic hit men". John Perkins wrote that economic hit men (EHM) "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder". In Perkins' case, the tool was debt - convincing strategically important countries to borrow huge amounts of money for enormous "development" projects that served the very rich while driving the country deeper into poverty and debt. And once indebted, these countries could be controlled.
In this latest edition, Perkins provides revealing new details about how he and others did their work. But, more importantly, in an explosive new section, he describes how the EHM tools are being used around the world more widely than ever - even in the United States. The cancer has metastasized, yet most people still aren't aware of it.
Fear and debt drive the EHM system. We are hammered with messages that terrify us into believing that we must pay any price, assume any debt, to stop the enemies who, we are told, lurk at our doorsteps. The EHM system - employing false economics, bribes, surveillance, deception, debt, coups, assassinations, and unbridled military power - has become the dominant system of economics, government, and society today. It has created what Perkins calls a "death economy". But Perkins offers hope: He concludes with dozens of specific, concrete suggestions for actions all of us can take to wrest control of our world away from the economic hit men and help give birth to a life economy.

Original Was Better
The author almost had me convinced until he started citing people like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul as examples to be followed. We now know thet we’re two of the most corrupt people in history.

Deep Insight Into the Political Totalitarian Hierarchy
I believe most people in there fifties realize that there is something amiss in the world. As a child in the late sixties and early seventies I and many of my classmates were try in our own little ways of helping to end poverty by bringing in food for food drives collecting money in those orange UNICEF boxes and we brought money from home to give our school to adopt financially several children in developing countries. My wife and I undertook to do the same when we were first married. At some point in time I realize that many of these organizations had high paid executive with an administrative budget of over 50% of each donations dollars. In addition there seamed to be little to no improvement to world poverty. The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man bring to light the true reality of world greed to exploit the impoverished for personal gains.
I deeply recommend this book in written or audio form. The audio is well spoken, very clear and easy to listen too.
Everyone needs to hear what John Perkins has to say. I would be homered to meet the man.
So get this book now! Time is of the essence!

In 2021 this version is already obsolete
Loved the original Confessions of an Economic Hitman but listening to the updated version from 2015 isn't worth your time. Purchase the original book or audio book you can thank me later.
