John Perkins: Exploiting the developing world as an economic hit man | The InnerView
For a decade John Perkins traveled to the world's developing nations with the aim of selling them massive loans that they didn't need and in most cases couldn't possibly pay back.
Perkins' work as an economic hit man helped lock target countries into a cycle of debt that would see them transfer control of their natural resources to serve Western interests.
In his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Perkins blew the whistle on a system designed to concentrate the world's wealth and power in the hands of a few at the expense of the many.
On this episode of The InnerView, Imran Garda asks Perkins how he came to reject the system he once served, how it's manifesting itself in today's world, and who are the new economic hit men leading the charge.
