John Perkins was 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 U. S. corporations. Saddled with huge debts, these countries came under the control of the U. S. government, World Bank, and other U. S.-dominated aid agencies that acted like loan sharks, dictating repayment terms and bullying foreign governments into submission. | Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins, Audio Book (CD) | Indigo Chapters
