The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Why people recommend it
The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins is an updated memoir and exposé that details how high-ranking financial consultants and operatives covertly used fraudulent financial forecasts, bribery, extortion, and political assassination to trap developing nations in systemic debt to serve American corporate and geopolitical interests. In November 2020, Jordan Harbinger concluded an episode of The Jordan Harbinger Show titled with guest John Perkins by strongly recommending the author's work to his audience. Having just conducted an eye-opening interview with the former economic hitman about the mechanics of the global death economy, Harbinger directed listeners straight to the book. He told the audience that both the original text and the updated version, titled The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, would be conveniently linked in the show notes for easy access. Harbinger's endorsement encouraged his listeners to dive deeper into the dark underbelly of international finance, foreign policy, and corporate exploitation discussed during the interview. By promoting the memoir, Harbinger ensured that his audience could examine the documented evidence behind Perkins's startling personal confessions regarding how major institutions systematically manipulate developing economies for imperial gain.
