Items related to Confessions of an Economic Hitman 12-Copy Floor Display
Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign ''aid'' organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization.

Review:
"An entirely riveting and vital expose of the immoral, underhand dealings of the American corporatocracy - *****" (Independent on Sunday)
"It's all here, in toe-curling detail" (Guardian Weekend)
"One of the most remarkable books I have read in a long time. It is also one of the most frightening ... Perkins' aim is to expose the empire in order to dismantle it. He got out, he emphasises - and the wider world can get out too. We can disband the empire, but only if we know how it really functions. There are few better paces to find out" (New Statesman)
"Once you've absorbed the book's central message, it makes the news look rather different" (Nicholas Lezard Guardian)
"Perkins has ripped open the belly of the financial buccaneers from his unique place on the inside. Here are the real-life details - nasty, manipulative, plain evil - of international corporate skullduggery spun into a tale rivaling the darkest espionage thriller" (Greg Palast, author of THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY)
