He tried to write this book four times but was threatened or bribed each time to halt. The events of 9\/11 - a direct result of the activities of EHMs in the 1970s - finally forced him to confront the role he played himself, and to reveal the truth to the rest of the world.CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN has become a word-of-mouth bestseller in the US. It has been called the book that finally 'connects the dots, the book that best explains what is really going on in the world'.Once you've read it you will find yourself recommending it to everyone you know. It can truly change the way you view the world. As one US reader writes- 'I feel that this is not just a book - it is an event, with powerful cultural and political ramifications. This book turns our understanding of history upside down, and I implore you to read it as soon as you possibly can. The more people who are aware, the more easily change can brought about.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/john-perkins-books\"\u003eJohn Perkins\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebury Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780091909109\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ebury Press","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47908974690481,"sku":"SB-0091909104-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0091909104.jpg?v=1789183099"},{"product_id":"hoodwinked-an-economic-hit-man-reveals-why-the-world-financial-markets-imploded-an-economic-hit-man-reveals-why-the-global-economy-imploded-and-how-to-fix-it-john-perkins-economic-hitman-series","title":"Hoodwinked: An Economic Hit Man Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded: An Economic Hit Man Reveals Why the Global Economy IMPLODED -- and How to Fix It (John Perkins Economic Hitman Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Perkins has seen the signs of today's economic meltdown before. The subprime mortgage fiascos, the banking industry collapse, the rising tide of unemployment, the shuttering of small businesses across the landscape are all too familiar symptoms of a far greater disease. In his former life as an economic hit man, he was on the front lines both as an observer and a perpetrator of events, once confined only to the third world, that have now sent the United States—and in fact the entire planet—spiraling toward disaster. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Perkins pulls back the curtain on the real cause of the current global financial meltdown. He shows how we've been hoodwinked by the CEOs who run the corporatocracy—those few corporations that control the vast amounts of capital, land, and resources around the globe—and the politicians they manipulate. These corporate fat cats, Perkins explains, have sold us all on what he calls predatory capitalism, a misguided form of geopolitics and capitalism that encourages a widespread exploitation of the many to benefit a small number of the already very wealthy. Their arrogance, gluttony, and mismanagement have brought us to this perilous edge.

While other cultures incorporate very specific methods of stress management as part of their daily routines, such methods are noticeably absent from the fabric of modern Western culture.Perkins emphasizes that we can--and should--seek out these techniques wherever they are to be found and put them into practice in our own lives. Throughout his travels and contacts with a variety of native cultures, the author has observed and integrated traditional practices that have enabled him and his co-workers to manage stress effectively and achieve high levels of success. \u003ci\u003eThe Stress-Free Habit \u003c\/i\u003econsolidates this practical wisdom in a simple easy-to-follow eight-step program.
