John Perkins controversial and bestselling expos, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, revealed for the first time the secret world of economic hit men (EHMs). But Perkins Confessions contained only a small piece of this sinister puzzle. The full story is far bigger, deeper, and darker than Perkins personal account revealed. Here other EHMs, journalists, and investigators join Perkins to tell their own stories, providing the first probing and expansive look into this pervasive web of systematic corruption.With chapters spotlighting how specific countries around the globe have been subverted, A Game As Old As Empire uncovers the inner workings of the institutions behind these economic manipulations. The contributors detail concrete examples of how the economic hit man game is still being played: an officer of an offshore bank hiding hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen money, IMF advisers slashing Ghanas education and health programs, a mercenary defending a European oil company in Nigeria, a consultant rewriting Iraqi oil law, and executives financing warlords to secure supplies of coltan ore in Congo. Together they show how this system of corruption and plunder operates in real life, and reveal the price that the rest of the world must pay as a result.Most important, A Game As Old As Empire connects the dots, showing how the various pieces of this system come together to create the worlds first truly global empire.
