Review:

"When I read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, I could not have known that, some years later, I would be on the receiving end of the type of 'economic hit' that Perkins so vividly narrated ... Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power" -- Yanis Varoufakis, former Minister of Finance, Greece "REVIEW FOR CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN: I was hazy on the precise details of third world debt came about, but after reading Confessions of an Economic Hit Man I consider myself rather better informed. And a lot more dismayed... it's all here in toe-curling detail" Guardian
