John Perkins- Author of "Hoodwinked" and "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"

What is an economic hit man? John Perkins says, "Economic Hit Men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars." Former economic hit man and author of the New York Times Bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man sat down with Matt Davio just two months shy of the release of his new book Hoodwinked. Perkins explains how he went from graduating Brown University to traveling around the world trained to cajole foreign leaders into negotiating business deals that would ultimately exacerbate their country’s economy. We hope to have Perkins back to talk about his new book and what we can do to help remake the financial markets.
