HOODWINKED BY JOHN PERKINS

AN INSIDER REVEALS HOW A HANDFUL OF CORPORATES HAVE HIJACKED THE WORLD ECONOMY

Bestselling author and former economic hit man John Perkins pulls back the curtain on the real cause of the global economic meltdown that began in 2008. He reveals how we have been hoodwinked by those who run our economy - the handful of corporations that control vast amounts of capital and resources around the globe - and the politicians they manipulate. They have perpetuated what Perkins calls predatory capitalism, an extremely dangerous form of exploitative capitalism that is thriving under the ever increasing powers of Wall Street, Big Business, and the government that props them up.

But there is a way out. Perkins makes it clear that we can create a healthy economy, a just and suitable society, and a safe world for us and our children. "Each one of us," Perkins says, "must take action in our choices every day. We hold the power, if only we recognize it."
