Interview with an Economic Hitman

"Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins is a book most of you have (or should) read. It provides a great context for what the global economy is and how it functions. It is a great read for anyone interested in doing business across borders. Here's a video of the man himself. It is a bit on the lengthy side, but enjoyable, nonetheless. Enjoy...after the jump.

LLcoolJgood book? are you guys joking? that book is a joke.

J, please let us know your view. I thought it is interested and going to spend some time to read it.

 

I was under the impression that most of this book was fabricated or embellished? There are a lot and I mean A LOT of people who say to disregard it from all camps. BUT I also hear (granted I have not read it) that it is a pretty entertaining read - think A Million Little Pieces. Fake, but entertaining.
