Finally finished this read.
Interesting look into the IMF, World Bank, and the origins of the current system that enslaves us via debt and fear.
Discussion
Sounds interesting!
It's a good one
Tl:dr summary ?
John Perkins basically talks about his experience working as an economic hitman, which had him persuading country leaders to take loans for development projects which only resulted in profits for the US and debt enslavement for the country. If the country refused, the CIA launched coups.
So it highlights how modern imperialism uses debt, corruption and economic manipulation to control nations.
If you enjoyed it, you’ll find this one super interesting too. I’m almost done it, parts really make you rethink historical events.
Oh I’m intrigued! Adding it to my reading list. Thanks!
Did you find any extra benefit to reading this edition over the original (2004) one?
From what I've heard the updated is a watered down version of the original. They got to old Jonny Boy
It only has a few extra chapters and they cover a few stories from the last two decades, and it’s mostly about how EHMs are technically no longer needed to enslave the people because the banking system has it already figured out.
Wouldn’t buy the new book just for those chapters.
Great book.
This system must end
We must take over
It's time to find your courage and rise up!!!
