Features: This is a confessional book written by John Perkins over more than two decades; This is a confessional book that John Perkins completed despite facing threats to his life and bribery; This is a confessional book comparable to the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, which shocked the U.S. political, business, and financial sectors; This is a confessional book that mainstream media deliberately avoided and remained silent about but still achieved unprecedented bestseller status. In the book, John Perkins reveals that economic hitmen, disguised as economists, bankers, or international financial consultants, actually carry out strategic tasks to establish U.S. global hegemony. They manipulate foreign political and economic elites by falsifying financial reports, manipulating elections, bribery, extortion, seduction, and even murder, deliberately providing them with incorrect macroeconomic analyses and industrial investment advice to lure developing countries into pre-set economic traps. This allows them to control the economic lifelines and natural resources of these countries, while tricking billions of U.S. dollars to flow continuously into the U.S. to serve the consolidation and expansion of America's economic, political, and military hegemony globally. Perkins exposes everything he witnessed as an economic hitman in the book and reveals the secrets behind several recent major international events. For example, the Saudi Arabia money laundering scandal, the downfall of the Shah of Iran, the deaths of the presidents of Ecuador and Panama, as well as the U.S. invasions of Panama and Iraq. This book is set to be adapted into a major film by Disney, with Oscar-winning actor Harrison Ford set to play the lead role.
