"The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins is a revised and updated version of his original 2004 book, offering a further exposé of what he claims are the inner workings of economic imperialism. Perkins describes his experiences as an "economic hit man" (EHM), a consultant employed by corporations and governments to manipulate developing nations into accepting massive loans that benefit wealthy elites at the expense of local populations.
Perkins claims that EHMs use fraudulent financial analysis, bribery, blackmail, and even assassination to persuade leaders of developing countries to agree to infrastructure projects, resource extraction deals, or other arrangements that indebt their nations to Western banks and corporations. These loans, he argues, are often so large that the countries are unable to repay them, leading to economic dependence, political instability, and exploitation of their resources.
"The New Confessions" expands on the original book, providing more details about Perkins's experiences and the broader context of global economic and political power. He discusses specific examples of his involvement in projects in various countries, including Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, and Saudi Arabia. He also claims to reveal the strategies and tactics used by EHMs to achieve their goals, as well as the consequences of these actions for the people and environments of the targeted nations.
Perkins's account is highly controversial and has been met with both praise and criticism. Some readers find his claims credible and eye-opening, while others dismiss them as conspiracy theories. Regardless of one's perspective, "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" raises important questions about globalization, international finance, and the relationships between developed and developing nations. It serves as a powerful critique of corporate power and the potential for economic exploitation in the globalized world. The book encourages readers to critically examine the forces that shape international relations and consider the ethical implications of economic policies.
