Overview

In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation. EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint. Twelve explosive new chapters detail the allure, exploitation, and wreckage of China's EHM strategy in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. If allowed to continue its rampage, the EHM strategy--whether executed by the United States or China--will destroy life as we know it. However, all is not lost. Perkins offers a plan for transforming this system that places profits above all into a Life Economy that restores the earth. He inspires listeners to take actions toward a new era of global cooperation that will end the United States's and China's EHM strategies for good.

Author Information

John Perkins is an author and activist whose twelve books on global intrigue, economics, Indigenous wisdom, shamanism, and transformation, including Touching the Jaguar, Shapeshifting, and the classic Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than seventy weeks, sold millions of copies, and are published in at least thirty-eight languages. His latest, Message from Pleiades, is the first-person account of a woman US senator who has an ""otherworldly"" experience while visiting an ancient Mayan city deep in the jungles of Central America; his first novel. Perkins advises corporations, executives, and entrepreneurs on ways to make the transition from a degenerative Death Economy (exploiting resources that are declining at accelerating rates) to a regenerative Life Economy (cleaning up pollution, recycling, and other technologies that create regenerative lifestyles and economies). John Perkins has lived four lives: as an economic hit man (EHM); as the CEO of a successful alternative energy company, who was rewarded for not disclosing his EHM past; as an expert on Indigenous cultures and shamanism, a teacher and writer who used this expertise to promote ecology and sustainability-while continuing to honor his vow of silence about his life as an EHM; and as a writer who, in telling the real-life story of his dealings as an EHM, has exposed the world of international intrigue and corruption that is turning the American republic into a global empire. Jeff Hoyt is a voice talent and an Earphones Award-winning audiobook narrator.
