520    Shocking bestseller: the original version of this 
       astonishing tell-all book spent seventy-three weeks on the
       New York Times bestseller list, has sold more than 1.25 
       million copies, and has been translated into thirty-two 
       languages. New revelations: featuring fifteen explosive 
       new chapters, this expanded edition of Perkins' classic 
       bestseller brings the story of economic hit men (EHMs) up 
       to date and, chillingly, home to the US. Over forty 
       percent of the book is new, including chapters identifying
       today's EHMs and a detailed chronology extensively 
       documenting EHM activity since the first edition was 
       published in 2004.Former economic hit man John Perkins 
       shares new details about the ways he and others cheated 
       countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. 
       Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create
       has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the 
       United States and everywhere else-to become the dominant 
       system of business, government, and society today. Finally,
       he gives an insider view of what we each can do to change 
       it. Economic hit men are the shock troops of what Perkins 
       calls the corporatocracy, a vast network of corporations, 
       banks, colluding governments, and the rich and powerful 
       people tied to them. If the EHMs can't maintain the 
       corrupt status quo through nonviolent coercion, the jackal
       assassins swoop in. The heart of this book is a completely
       new section, over 100 pages long, that exposes the fact 
       that all the EHM and jackal tools-false economics, false 
       promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, 
       coups, assassinations, unbridled military power-are used 
       around the world today exponentially more than during the 
       era Perkins exposed over a decade ago. The material in 
       this new section ranges from the Seychelles, Honduras, 
       Ecuador, and Libya to Turkey, Western Europe, Vietnam, 
       China, and, in perhaps the most unexpected and sinister 
       development, the United States, where the new EHMs-bankers,
       lobbyists, corporate executives, and others-"con 
       governments and the public into submitting to policies 
       that make the rich richer and the poor poorer."But as dark
       as the story gets, this reformed EHM also provides hope. 
       Perkins offers a detailed list of specific actions each of
       us can take to transform what he calls a failing Death 
       Economy into a Life Economy that provides sustainable 
       abundance for all.
