John Perkins has come a long way from when he was rigging reports for a high level government consulting firm and Amazon.com: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is his memoir of those days and the soul altering transformation he went through. There is rampant, but subtle, 20/20 hindsight which detracts from the overall story as Perkins is, at times, naive and other times seemingly omnipotently prescient. This book would have been better as one of those long articles in Vanity Fair that I don’t read.
