Re: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins I've just finished the book. While not as thoroughly detailed on the business and finance aspects of his work as I'd have liked, overall I'd recommend the book as an emotional expression of a kind human being who has great remorse about the ruinous policies and duplicitous endgame of the corporate elite who control institutions like the IMF and World Bank. When a dark and evil character like the neo-con warrior Paul Wolfowitz is considered a prime candidate for President of the World Bank, eyebrows certainly must be raised and thoughts given to the real purpose of this not-so-clean, not-so-decent institution. Some may wish to watch an interview (or two) with the author: democracynow.org democracynow.org
