Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
is a great book by John Perkins, former economic hit man (EHM). From the back cover:
EHM's are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder. They play a game as old as Empire but onethat has taken on terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization. I couldn't put this down, the author is a likeable guy doing dispicable things. It has opened my eyes to the evil behind the country I was already ashamed to live in. Especially recommended for people (like myself) who are embarrassingly ignorant of what goes on here in our bad bad country.
