Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Published by Dar Al-Rafidain, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins is an explosive memoir exposing the dark underbelly of global finance and geopolitics. Perkins details his former role as an "economic hit man"—a highly paid professional whose job was to cheat developing countries out of trillions of dollars. Through manipulated financial forecasts, Perkins persuaded world leaders to accept massive loans from global financial institutions for infrastructure projects. When these nations inevitably accumulated unpayable debts, imperial powers demanded political loyalty, military access, and control over valuable resources, shedding light on modern economic imperialism.

It is a gripping, eye-opening account that dismantles traditional views of international aid, explaining the hidden mechanics of global corporate strategy and economic dominance.

Students of economics and international relations, journalists, political activists, historians, and general readers interested in foreign policy, globalization, and economic injustice.
