How do we confront the ever-evolving economic hit man strategy-and China's expanding global influence?
In this riveting third edition of the New York Times bestseller, former economic hit man (EHM) John Perkins exposes the next phase of a global power play that is reshaping nations and economies worldwide. With twelve explosive new chapters, Perkins reveals how China has adopted-and adapted-the EHM model, extending its reach across Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Perkins delivers a rare insider account of a corrupt system that uses development loans and massive infrastructure deals to trap countries in crushing debt, extracting political leverage, strategic resources, and long-term control. Once associated primarily with US foreign policy, this strategy has entered a new era-one defined by intensifying global competition, staggering income inequality, and accelerating ecological destruction.
The result is what Perkins calls a "death economy": a system that prioritizes short-term profits over people and planet.
But this book is not just an exposé-it's a call to action. Perkins outlines a bold and practical path forward, urging a shift toward a "life economy" that values sustainability, shared prosperity, and genuine international cooperation. He challenges readers to recognize their own power in shaping a more just and regenerative global system.
The stakes have never been higher-and the opportunity for change has never been more urgent.
