<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Summary:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Confessions of an Economic Hit Man</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, comes an expos&eacute; of international corruption, and an inspired plan to turn the tide for future generations</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a presidential election around the corner, questions of America's military buildup, environmental impact, and foreign policy are on everyone's mind. Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins goes behind the scenes of the current geopolitical crisis and offers bold solutions to our most pressing problems. Drawing on interviews with other EHMs, jackals, CIA operatives, reporters, businessmen, and activists, Perkins reveals the secret history of events that have created the current American Empire, including:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How the defeats in Vietnam and Iraq have benefited big business</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The role of Israel as Fortress America in the Middle East</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tragic repercussions of the IMF's Asian Economic Collapse</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The current Latin American revolution and its lessons for democracy</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">U.S. blunders in Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in Venezuela, Perkins exposes a conspiracy of corruption that has fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe, with consequences reflected in our daily headlines. Having raised the alarm, Perkins passionately addresses how Americans can work to create a more peaceful and stable world for future generations.</span></p>
