Amazon.com description: Product Description: [SECOND EDITION] This now-classic book's first edition revealed the subversive actions of economic hit men (EHM), highly paid professionals who cheat countries worldwide out of trillions of dollars through fraud, bribes, assassinations, and coups. In Perkins' case the tool was debt, convincing countries to borrow huge amounts of money. Once indebted, these countries could be controlled. Here he provides new details about how he and others did their work. More importantly, an explosive new section describes how EHM tools are being used around the world more widely than ever-- even in the United States. But Perkins offers hope and tools to fight back.
