520    The New York Times bestseller, updated and expanded, 
       featuring fifteen explosive new chaptersThe previous 
       edition of this now-classic book revealed the existence 
       and subversive manipulations of "economic hit men." John 
       Perkins wrote that economic hit men (EHM) "are highly paid
       professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of 
       trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent 
       financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, 
       sex, and murder." In Perkins' case the tool was debt-
       convincing strategically important countries to borrow 
       huge amounts of money for enormous "development" projects 
       that served the very rich while driving the country deeper
       into poverty and debt. And once indebted, these countries 
       could be controlled. In this latest edition, Perkins 
       provides revealing new details about how he and others did
       their work. But more importantly, in an explosive new 
       section, he describes how the EHM tools are being used 
       around the world more widely than ever-even in the United 
       States. The cancer has metastasized, yet most people still
       aren't aware of it.Fear and debt drive the EHM system. We 
       are hammered with messages that terrify us into believing 
       that we must pay any price, assume any debt, to stop the 
       enemies who, we are told, lurk at our doorsteps. The EHM 
       system-employing false economics, bribes, surveillance, 
       deception, debt, coups, assassinations, unbridled military
       power-has become the dominant system of economics, 
       government, and society today. It has created what Perkins
       calls a "death economy." But Perkins offers hope: he 
       concludes with dozens of specific, concrete suggestions 
       for actions all of us can take to wrest control of our 
       world away from the economic hit men and help give birth 
       to a life economy.
