The Life Economy vs.The Death Economy with Economic Hitman John Perkins
Manage episode 373382011 series 2934914
MONEY has been the greatest weapon ever devised by humanity, the cause of more death than anything else. DEBT has been weaponized to conquer nations and bring peoples to their knees. Nobody understands this better than former ECONOMIC HITMAN John Perkins, who personally worked for the state and corporate establishment cajoling poor nations with resources coveted by western companies into accepting loans they could never repay, as a means to control their whole economy and make them subservient to the empire. We talk about his riveting history, how he came to a change of heart, and about the current global battle between the LIFE ECONOMY and the DEATH ECONOMY, and how we can work to build new systems and transitions to change the world.
