Back Jacket Text from Book
How do we stop the unrelenting evolution of the Economic Hit Man Strategy?
The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestseller blows the whistle on China’s EHM strategy, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions for curing the global Death Economy.
In this shocking exposé former economic hit man (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.
A third EHM wave is infecting the world and at the peak of the devastation sits China with its modified version of the U.S. EHM strategy. This new model has proven even more dangerous and successful at enticing lower-income nations into its claws. However, all is not lost. Perkins provides a source of hope for transforming the Death Economy into a Life Economy and inspires readers to participate in a new era of global cooperation.
