Lifting the veil of corporate control with John Perkins
John Perkins has worked as Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm where he advised major global economic forces like the World Bank, The IMF, The US Treasury, and govts around the globe.  He has seen corporate rule first hand.

Perkins turned away from his former work and has been exposing the practices and reach of predatory capitalism and the corporatocracy through his books such as The first edition of Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man, The Secret History of the American Empire, and Hoodwinked.  This month, The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is being released, adding a lot of new content examing the effects of globalization has continued to have on the real world around us, as seen in the sub-prime crisis, and austerity measures. 

John Perkins is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, non-profit organizations devoted to establishing a world future generations will want to inherit, has lectured at Harvard, Oxford, and more than 50 other universities around the world, and is the author of books on indigenous cultures and transformation, including Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Psychonavigation, Spirit Of The Shuar, and The Stress-Free Habit.
