Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Search in google:
Perkins, a former chief economist at a Boston strategic-consulting firm, confesses he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. Rocky Mountain News Perkins is both alarming and entertaining, writing with the cutting precision and wit of a hard-boiled novelist.
