Confessions of an economic hit man

Confessions of an economic hit man/John Perkins 250 pg.

I am not surprised by much in this book that discusses the evils of corporations and modern imperialism. I did like most of what the author had to say but he is a little too focused on his own personal story that lends almost nothing to the larger narrative of the actions of our government and corporations. He spent 30 years making a good living off of keeping other people poor but now he feels guilty about it. Eh, maybe if it had taken you less than 30 years I could appreciate your personal drama a little more. Still, a good overview of some of the bad things going on and why. - Christa
