In a previous edition, John Perkins exposes the destructive machinations of “economic killers”: he writes that these are highly paid professionals who siphon trillions of dollars from countries around the world. They use methods such as falsified financial statements, rigged elections, blackmail, extortion, sex and murder. Perkins himself was in the business of loans: his job was to convince strategically important states to borrow huge sums of money for large-scale “scientific and technological” projects aimed at maintaining the interests of the richest people while plunging countries into poverty and debt. And the more debt a country has, the easier it is to control. In the new edition, Perkins details how he and others like him did their job. The book is supplemented by documentary evidence of the activities of "economic killers" for the period 2004-2015, as well as a scandalous section that now the methods of "economic killers" are used more actively than ever - even in America itself. The new material is dedicated to the countries: Seychelles, Honduras, Ecuador, Libya, Turkey, Vietnam, China, the USA and Western Europe. Fear and debt are what the system of economic murders is built on. They intimidate us into paying any money and getting into any debt. The system of economic murder - the fictitious economy, bribes, surveillance, deception, debt, coups d'etat, murder, abuse of military force - has become the dominant economic, governmental and social system. John Perkins was the first to talk about the monstrous cynical secret operations of the intelligence services and oligarchic clans of America, which they carry out all over the world. In terms of the importance of the schemes he uncovered, modern whistleblowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, who are now being hunted by US intelligence agencies, are on a par with him.
