Why is America so Hated By
So Many?
Broadcast 03/14/05
An interview with John Perkins author of Confessions of an
Economic Hit Man. Mr. Perkins reveals the dark underside of
American economic polices and how they impact the poorest
nations and the indigenous peoples of the world. His book points
out how these policies negatively impact us all in ways that
will have far reaching influences in international relationships
and world economic stability.
He discusses what an economic hit man is – their ongoing work
and how they perpetrate their crimes against humanity. Mr.
Perkins was an economic hit man for 10 years operating all over
the world on behalf of the corporatocracy (a coalition of
government, banks and corporations). He tells his personal
story of being an economic hit man, how he was sent into third
world countries to pressure leaders to except huge loans that
resulted in the sacrifice of health, education and jobs for
their people due to the overwhelming burden of the debt. The
powers of persuasion used by the ECH included everything from
political bribery to assassination. He shares his growing
realization of the insidious harm these actions were causing and
his reasons for leaving the field. Mr. Perkins is now head of
Dream Change an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable
living.
