Economic Hit Men: How The Developed World Robs the Third

Riz Khan talks to John Perkins about his book on global corruption. Perkin's book, entitled "Confessions of an Economic Hit man," was on the New York Times best seller list when it was first published in 2004. "Economic hit men," John Perkins writes, "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder."
