Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man

[hamerfan]

Anyone reading/read this? Insane, if true. I mean it talks about everything we THINK is going on behind the scenes, but then thought maybe we're just paranoid. I can't say if it's factually correct as I wasn't there to witness it, but I do believe it. I found the book on sale at Costco and could not put it down. An amazing story, especially if it's true.

1. why wouldn't it be true?

The book has been out for a few years now and no one has come forward to accuse him of lying. It is a great read and anyone who any misty notions about freemarket capitalism should be forced to read it and turn in a detailed essay.

3. Great book, I saw Perkins speak this past fall

I read Confessions and had the chance to hear John Perkins speak this fall. I wrote about it on my blog at http://commoniowan.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving-leftovers-confessions-of.html. His speech was really amazing. I then bought his 2nd book and am not quite finished. It is just as good as Confessions and offers some hope at the end.
