Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Confessions of an Economic Hitman is a book written by John Perkins we have been discussing about the past weeks in class. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to assist to some of this classes I investigated and learned a lot about this book. In this book we can get to see what an Economic Hit Man is and how undeveloped countries manage their economy. The author's main focus is on third world countries.

In this book we can see that an economic hit man is someone who convinces third world countries to accept payment from the big countries. Actually, John Perkins describes himself as an economic hit man. It is interesting how this book explains and shows the different effects and purposes this has on other countries economies and political influences. 

Here is a video I would like you to watch, it defines better what an economic hit man is in  a fun way
