Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition

Where do I begin… if you are interested in learning how corporations and the US government make things happen around the world, read this. It’s an essential read.

Just read the back blurb and a few pages and this makes fir a compelling read about how the world really works. John Perkins doesn't miss words when he describes the typical working life of an economic hit man. Looking forward to reading it thoroughly.

A good read particularly if you enjoy international relations and economics.

It’s an eye opener on the ills of the system. I recommend this read to everyone.

Bought for my son on request - he loves this stuff! If you're interested in all the secret goings on it's for you.

A historical fiction. Fictional documentary. So astonishing and just timely to be read amid those turbulent times. Again as a foreigner I appreciate American writers stated to confess after all said&done. Does it clear their sins against humanity? We will be the judge. People of oppressed, exploited countries. Time s up. Everyone should read and make their siblings memorize what s happened in order to uprise against such wrongdoings in future. Thnks to Mr Perkins at least to have shed light into darkness bravely although lately. Hope his sins be forgiven

Any book that explains how reality is, instead of how the media portrays it, gets my thumbs up. This book sits in the same spectrum as Noam Chomsky's books criticising US foreign policy. A must read for anyone still left with a belief that capitalism is OK.

I have been addicted to this book after reading 20 pages, the contents have update my knowledge of the world being.

Great book to learn about empires

Fascinating book. You get a blend of history, geopolitics, economics, and the personal journey of an economic hit man. Very well written. Easy to follow. Full of information for those of us that love true history (not the whitewashed garbage the Department of Education has been feeding the public for so long). Enjoyed this book thoroughly and I can see why it’s been such a bestseller for so long

This is an excellent read. John Perkins has a style which includes us, his readers, in intimate conversations with men and women of huge power and influence. He shares with us his intimate knowledge of the international power brokers who dictated the course of history. John Perkins was a part of that brokerage and in this third edition of his confessions, he speaks to us, and shares with us an unparalleled insight and knowledge into what can be described as conspiracy fact enacted on a global scale. John concludes his book with many ideas on how we, the readers can help ourselves and our friends to combat feelings of impotency in the face of the economic structures which are killing our planet. I give John hearty thanks for his courage, honesty and tenacity in the writing of this brilliantly written book. Thank you John.

Great book
