The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman

In this latest edition, Perkins provides revealing new details about how he and others did their work. We are hammered with messages that terrify us into believing that we must pay any price, assume any debt, to stop the enemies who, we are told, lurk at our doorsteps. The EHM system―employing false economics, bribes, surveillance, deception, debt, coups, assassinations, unbridled military power―has become the dominant system of economics, government, and society today. It has created what Perkins calls a Death Economy. But Perkins offers hope: he concludes with dozens of specific, concrete suggestions for actions all of us can take to wrest control of our world away from the economic hit men, and help give birth to a Life Economy.
