The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (2016) is an insider’s account of imperialism in the modern age. Drawing on the author’s experiences of working behind the scenes to further America’s interests, it sheds light on how the United States uses debt to manipulate and control smaller nations. Twelve years after its first publication in 2004, enough had changed to warrant a second look at how a new generation of Economic Hit Men have been peddling influence abroad – and at home.
