The book tells the story of John Perkins, an economic hitman who worked for a consulting firm that was hired by the US government and multinational corporations to promote the interests of these entities around the world. Perkins describes his work in detail, including how he would use economic pressure and coercion to force countries to accept loans and projects that would benefit the US and its corporations, while often causing economic hardship for the people of those countries.
