The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Tickets are available at Kepler's and online at Brown Paper Tickets

In a time of terrible crisis,  who can we turn to for the truth?
 
The answer is simple. It takes a thief to catch a thief. The thief in this instance is John Perkins, the author of The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
 
During his time as an Economic Hit Man, Perkins had the job of persuading economically developing countries to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development -- loans that were much larger than needed -- and to guarantee that the projects would be contracted to US corporations such as Halliburton.

For more than a decade, he was a primary contributor to a corrupt system that used  false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, unbridled military power and even assassinations to steal trillions of dollars from countries around the globe.

 
This chilling new edition has been greatly expanded,  demonstrating how this cancerous system has come home to the U.S. in the form of banking scandals, economic crises, and ruinous foreign policy.
 
Perkins "came clean" after he witnessed the devastation of the 911 attacks, and as dark as this story gets, he hasn't given up hope.  In this new edition he offers concrete strategies for a revolution to transform a corrupt system into one that offers hope, peace and courage to all people around the world. 
   
Only a person who spent years laying the groundwork for this nightmarish scenario understands the threat it represents to all of us. We hope you'll join us for this important event to learn what we can do together to fight back.
