"Confessions of an Economic Hitman"

"Confessions of an Economic Hitman" is a book by John Perkins describing how certain international economic strategies are used to influence and control developing countries. Perkins explains that economic hitmen are professionals who persuade countries to accept large loans for projects that benefit the creditors, often U.S. corporations and governments. These loans lead to debt dependency, allowing powerful nations to influence political decisions and prioritize economic interests over the well-being of the local populations. The book sheds light on the covert means of exerting economic and political power globally, revealing ethical issues and the true motives behind international development efforts.
