John Perkins (author)

John Perkins is an American author and former economic adviser known for his books discussing the ways multinational corporations and governments utilize economic strategies—often called "economic hit men"—to influence and control developing countries. His work explores how financial and political pressures are used to secure resources and strategic advantages, sometimes at the expense of local populations. Perkins aims to shed light on global economic practices, encouraging awareness of how power and money shape international relations and development policies. His writings prompt reflection on ethical considerations in global economics and international cooperation.
