John Perkins' controversial expose', Confessions of an
Economic Hit Man, became an international word-of-mouth
sensation, a long-running New York Times bestseller, sold
over 20000 copies in Australia and NZ. But Perkins'
revelations in Confessions were only the tip of the iceberg
of the world of economic hit men. This secret world is even
bigger, deeper, and darker than Confessions revealed. A Game
As Old As Empire exposes many more shocking secrets of a
worldwide web of control, corruption, and plunder. It tells
how multinational corporations, governments, powerful
individuals, banks, other financial institutions, and quasi-
governmental agencies operate to enrich small elites and
corporate coffers while often impoverishing masses of people
and creating debt and dependency that economically enslave
countries for generations. This new book provides the first
full inside look at how this dark and dirty world functions.
