John Perkins - Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
A friend went to see John Perkins last night at the
Memorial Union. Sounds like it was a very interesting talk. Mr. Perkins has
the insider's view of the real way that our country has dominated third (and
second) world countries - through crushing economic debt. We loan money to
these governments which then funnel the funds straight through to big
corporations like Halliburton et al. If the leaders won't play, then they tend
to die or be overthrown. Rather an intense and disturbing look at our
leadership.
Mr. Perkins now uses his money to fund Dream Change a non-profit that is out to "create a more compassionate and just world".
