Book Review of Economic Hitman
Hidden Footprints: How Past Economic Policies Shape Today's Global Crisis
The concept of Economic Hit Man (EHM) was introduced by John Perkins to describe high-earning professionals tasked with influencing developing countries to become trapped in a large debt system. They do not use military force, but rather economic and political strategies to expand the influence of global power.
EHM operates through several main ways. First, they create overly optimistic economic reports, such as projections of electricity growth or massive infrastructure development, to convince the target country to take on giant loans. Second, they use bribery, gratification, or personal manipulation to influence officials. Third, if subtle methods fail, political pressure or threats are used to ensure the government adheres to the desired agenda.
The loans provided usually come from international institutions such as the World Bank. However, in practice, the funds often return to large companies from the lending country that work on infrastructure projects. The recipient country is left with a large debt that is difficult to repay.
This system operates within a framework of corporatocracy, which is a network of interests between giant corporations, international banks, and governments working together to expand global economic influence. Developing countries are promised development and modernization, but in reality, they bear a heavy debt. When countries cannot pay, they are forced to give concessions such as access to natural resources, international political support, or military base permissions.
