With a presidential election around the corner, questions of America's military buildup, environmental impact, and foreign policy are on everyone's mind. Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins goes behind the scenes of the current geopolitical crisis and offers bold solutions to our most pressing problems. Drawing on interviews with other EHMs, jackals, CIA operatives, reporters, businessmen, and activists, Perkins reveals the secret history of events that have created the current American Empire, including:

How the defeats in Vietnam and Iraq have benefited big business
The role of Israel as Fortress America in the Middle East
Tragic repercussions of the IMF's Asian Economic Collapse
The current Latin American revolution and its lessons for democracy
U.S. blunders in Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela

From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in Venezuela, Perkins exposes a conspiracy of corruption that has fuelled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe, with consequences reflected in our daily headlines. Having raised the alarm, Perkins passionately addresses how Americans can work to create a more peaceful and stable world for future generations.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.. His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the United States to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to US corporations.

These countries could not handle the debt of these loans and their poorest citizens are deprived of health, education, and opportunity for several decades while corporations and political insiders involved with the expensive projects become extremely wealthy.

Due to the large debts, which were often owed to USAID, IMF, or the World Bank, the US is able to draw on these countries for political, economic and military favors whenever desired.

This is the reason there was a violent coup in Ukraine shortly after Yanukovich rejected an IMF loan.

Ironically, Hunter Biden did this type of work except with CEFC China Energy for the Chinese Communist Party's Belt and Road Initiative.
