Open your eyes
I read his shamanistic book many years ago called Shapeshifting and was impressed by this man, in that book he talks briefly about his dark years and when he finally put this book, I was blown away. I have passed my copy around to 4-5 friends already and have others buying their own copies.

If some of our brothers and sisters in the US ever wonder why they face such hostility around the world, this book gives a good answer to that. - Lucidshaman , posted 01/11/07

A STORY EVERYONE MUST READ!
This is a gripping exposing story of the other side of what we been told about US and other great powers work in Lesser Developer Countries. Reality is a shocking truth. A book everyone must'n miss and read! A book every newsreporter and school should read to get the real picture.

It's former Economic Hit Man John Perkins that comes out with his true gripping life story. A book that was denied publication by so many publishers that it might have been difficult to believe in the end that book should ever come out. But id did and been a hit ever since.

RUNNING TIME: 64 minutes

DESCRIPTION:
Author John Perkins discussed his book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" in a program sponsored by the Science, Technology and Business Division.

In his book, Perkins describes his experiences as an economist of an international consulting firm whose job was to persuade strategically important developing countries, such as Panama and Indonesia, to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development and then to ensure that the lucrative projects were contracted out to U.S. corporations. According to Perkins, when it became impossible to repay these huge debts, the United States government, the World Bank or U.S.-influenced aid agencies would step in and place the countries in a trusteeship of sorts, dictating their spending budgets and other policies.
