Sommario/riassunto |
|
This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by John Perkins in his book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case John Perkins' book.<br>Perkins reveals how during his career he created economy projections to convince other countries to accept important loans for infrastructure and development that they couldn't afford. <br> |
