BEAT - 48: Confessioni di un sicario dell'economia

More about the book

From the author of the bestselling *Confessions of an Economic Hit Man* comes a compelling exposé of international corruption and a visionary plan for change. With a presidential election approaching, issues surrounding America's military presence, environmental concerns, and foreign policy are at the forefront of public discourse. Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins delves into the current geopolitical crisis, offering insightful solutions to urgent problems. Through interviews with fellow EHMs, CIA operatives, journalists, and activists, he uncovers the hidden history that shaped the American Empire, including how defeats in Vietnam and Iraq have benefited corporate interests, Israel's role as a strategic ally in the Middle East, and the IMF's impact on Asia's economic landscape. He also discusses the ongoing Latin American revolution and its implications for democracy, alongside U.S. missteps in regions like Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela. From military actions in Iraq to development efforts in Indonesia and the Peace Corps in Africa, Perkins reveals a web of corruption that has bred global instability and anti-American sentiment. He calls on Americans to take action toward fostering a more peaceful and stable future for generations to come.
