Excerpt from Zeitgeist: Addendum featuring "Economic Hitman" John Perkins.
John Perkins is an American essayist and the author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, a semi-autobiographical book first published in 2004.
.
In the book, Perkins details his alleged career at the engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main in Boston. He claims that the NSA arranged for him to be hired by the firm and that he was trained as an "economic hitman" by Claudine Martin, who worked for Chas. T. Main.
.
Perkins asserts that his role involved persuading leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects.
.
According to Perkins, these loans, which were contracted to U.S. companies, served to provide the U.S. with political influence and access to natural resources, benefiting local elites and wealthy families rather than the poor.
.
He describes economic hit men as "highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars".
Perkins claims that these individuals funnel money from organizations such as the World Bank and USAID into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources.
.
Perkins' book has been commercially successful, but his claims have faced criticism and skepticism regarding their accuracy and validity.
