About this episode

John Perkins (@jperkinsauthor) is an economist who has advised the World Bank, United Nations, Fortune 500 corporations, and the US government. He is the author of The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

What We Discuss with John Perkins:
  • How corporations and governments use economic hit men (like John in a previous life) to coerce developing countries to auction off their most valuable resources like rainforests, oil, and mines at bargain-basement prices.
  • Why these predatory capitalist policies are commonplace and above scrutiny -- even though your tax dollars are massively subsidizing them.

  • How false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, and unbridled military power are used to dominate the developing world now more than ever before.

  • And much more...
