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.

Interesting by Egomaniacal
It's a good book. It had all the markers of conspiracy theory but it explains international business well.

must read book
I loved the start and the way the writer revealed the dark side of people dreaming for a global Empire.
the book grows a little monotonous in the second half but it has a nice ending

Now it all makes sense
The methods outlined by this ex EHM author are what have clearly been used against India as well. We are all but an officially declared client state of the USA today and drowning in debt. (663 Billion $ external debt which is a 10x increase from 2014)
India's political class right from Nehru to Modi have always been beholden to foreign powers. In the case of Nehru and later Congress PMs, they were clearly more beholden to the Soviet union after the British left.
RSS and it's projeny Jansangh which later morphed into the BJP however, have long been accused of having ties with cia and in hindsight, the allegations had merrit. it's a shame we Indians and Hindus especially never took them seriously.
America and Modi are so brazen about their relationship that they openly list Modi as Alumni of its state Dept run ACYPL. This ACYYPL is an institution to "groom" upcoming political leaders in foreign countries.
Our Modi ji when he was a nobody and just a sangh pracharak in 1993 was flown to America, given a tour of 29 states in America and then "groomed for leadership". by this ACYPL.
Modi himself acknowledged this in his 2024 Sept America visit just a couple of days back. That is how brazen he is. He knows of the America worship we have here in India and how many of us will not baat an eyelid about our sitting pm being "groomed" in America and then installed as pm with various machinations.
So we have an American puppet sitting as pm in India that has drowned the country in debt to fund Socialist identatiarn dole schemes to buy votes and willy nilly infrastructure projects to make Adani Ambani oligarchs of India rich.
Rss and Modi are spreading American wokeism and caste conflicts too at the behest of this same America.
It's all clear to me after reading this book. Many thanks to him for coming clean about his country's dirty tactics.
