Monday Book Nook: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man reads like watching a train wreck. It describes one man’s supposed experience in the world of BIG CORPORATE BUSINESS and it’s insidious interconnectivity with the American government and how the two rule the world and take advantage of the Earth and indigenous people. Train wreck … with one HUGE difference. While other books exist which lay out (though less personally) this horrible problem, this book is not only highly redemptive (he bravely gets out and has dedicated his life now to saving those very people) it offers REAL solutions that EACH of us can take – not pie-in-the-sky, I-would-if-I-had-a-huge-company solutions, but simple, real solutions we can each take. In short, Perkins shows us how to dream a different dream, and that by doing so it is as simple as right now to step out of the nightmare the collective is currently living and into a new dream we can invite them into. I devoured this book… I can’t wait to hear what you all think about it.
