Summary:  "This expanded edition of Perkins's bestseller brings the story of economic hit men (EHMs) up to date. Former economic hit man John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. How the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the US and everywhere else to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today. Economic hit men are the shock troops of what Perkins calls the corporatocracy, a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments, and the rich and powerful people tied to them. If the EHMs can't maintain the corrupt status quo through nonviolent coercion, the jackal assassins swoop in. This new edition exposes the fact that all the EHM and jackal tools - false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, unbridled military power - are used around the world today exponentially more than a decade ago. The author ranges from the Seychelles, Honduras, Ecuador, and Libya to Turkey, Western Europe, Vietnam, China, and, in perhaps the most unexpected and sinister development, the United States, where the new EHMs - bankers, lobbyists, corporate executives, and others "con governments and the public into submitting to policies that make the rich richer and the poor poorer.""--Provided by publisher.
