Sinossi
I "sicari dell'economia" sono un'elite di professionisti ben retribuiti che hanno il compito di trasformare la modernizzazione dei paesi invia di sviluppo in un continuo processo di indebitamento e di asservimento agli interessi delle multinazionali e dei governi più potenti del mondo; sono, insomma, i principali artefici dell'"impero", di cui disegnano - lavorando dietro le quinte - la vera struttura politica e sociale. Per dieci anni John Perkins è stato uno di loro, e ha toccato con mano il lato più oscuro della globalizzazione in paesi come Indonesia, Iraq, Ecuador, Panama, Arabia Saudita, prima di affrontare una graduale presa di coscienza che lo ha portato a farsi difensore dell'ecologia e dei diritti civili delle popolazioni sfruttate. In questa autobiografia, appassionante come un romanzo e documentata come un'inchiesta di denuncia, Perkins ci costringe a riesaminare sotto prospettive inedite e inquietanti l'ultimo mezzo secolo di storia, e a interrogarci sul nostro futuro. Un bestseller internazionale indispensabile per comprendere a fondo le dinamiche dell'imperialismo e le ragioni dei conflitti che alimenta. Prefazione di Loretta Napoleoni.

Terrible. Here's the book in a nutshell. "I'm in <3rd world country> doing . I feel bad about this. I meet . He takes me to . I learn . I return to my out of touch american enclave and happen upon . He like a prophet." The process then repeats. Anyway, I'm sure the ideas in this book will help some Leggi tutto
My short review is this: 'Confessions' is a good introduction to the darker side of foreign policy and the effects of globalization. My slightly longer explanation is this: Paradoxically, what makes the book more accessible is also what turns many people off to it. It takes a chunk of history about a Leggi tutto
Good message, important, but reads like fiction. If this guy wanted to have any serious impact he should have written something less sensational. Also, he's a jackass. He spent his whole life screwing over everybody, including his friends, and then he writes a book (for which he probably made lots o Leggi tutto
This is a remarkable work, decades in the making. Perkins is the real deal, an economist who worked for international consortia to pillage the third world. The modus operandi was to perform economic analysis of target nations that indicated a rate of growth far in excess of any real possibility in o Leggi tutto

Here's why a lot of people won't like this book: it's brutally honest, historically accurate, and it has a message. Here's why a lot of people will like this book: see above. Perkins story about himself is not for everyone; I'll tell you that right now. The biggest reasons are a) his constant dealings Leggi tutto
This is garbage. Worse than that, I think this book is dangerous. First of all, I think Perkins is a total liar. I don’t doubt that there are people out there that make their living by betting against developing countries, and I don’t doubt that there are people who have an economic incentive for pr Leggi tutto
