Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Having made a splash with Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Perkins offers similarly entertaining but disturbing accounts of the American government wreaking havoc around the world in support of American business. In Perkins's view, American presidents willingly comply with their CEO masters, distributing foreign aid to corrupt Third World leaders who keep a share and return the rest to U.S. business for major projects, leaving their nations poor and massively in debt, and requiring more loans and slavish obedience to U.S. policy. If any leader objects, the CIA destabilizes his government, by assassination if necessary. Gathering evidence is not Perkins's strong suit. Typically, a shadowy figure pulls him aside, insists on anonymity, then reveals all. Critics will rightfully accuse Perkins of dreadful journalism and a taste for conspiracy theories. Yet economists admit that loans and "expert advice" to poor nations are often harmful. Few deny that America has ruthlessly undermined uncooperative governments and supported dictators including Saddam Hussein. Perkins's assertions that the U.S. assassinated Ecuador's reformist president and connived at genocide in Timor and Sudan are not absurd, merely unproven. This book's greatest value may be to encourage a competent journalist to cover the same ground. (June 5)

A sweeping, bold assault on the tyranny of corporate globalization, full of drama and adventure, with devastating stories of greed run wild. But Perkins is undaunted, and offers imaginative ideas for a different world.

I think these a bit much for your 2nd grade reading and writing level...

Reading threads like these started by a foul-mouthed pink-haired Chinese racist is the epitome of irony.

Isn't AKMEE Engineering an American company? Or doesn't it exist?

Irony is GR's middle name. His Fukmee Injineering company must not be doing so well so he has to try to shoot down anything American. Why not just take it to China since it is so tough here. The sooner the better.

dissing aspects of American corporate or government doesn't make me un-American. are you that ignorant that you can't tel the difference?

SundayDriver

I think that the book is about "For Profit" companies.

Yeah I am sure it is going just as well as your W2W racing endeavor.

You have to understand that once you get caught lying there is no confidence anything else you say is truthful.

It is however good for entertainment

He continues to be consistent....steals logos, other copyrighted images, etc....so why not an entire website??? What a consummate loser!

Veloce Raptor

It is interesting that Acme Software has been around since 1972, which is longer that Francis has been on this earth.

Yet more pathological lies from the tangerine haired teabagger.

as usual, the turds can't distinguish between a joke and a serious remark. turds are turds.
