John Perkins

John Perkins is an American author and former economic consultant whose book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a controversial, bestselling account of how he was employed to persuade developing countries to accept massive loans they could never repay, enriching American corporations and expanding US influence at the expense of vulnerable nations. The book has been both praised as a brave exposé and criticised as exaggerated, but it remains one of the most widely read books on globalisation and economic imperialism. Perkins's audiobook offers listeners a provocative, insider's account of how international finance and power really work.
