The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals & the Truth about Global Corruption by John Perkins

5.0

This book was a serious eye opener. I already knew that the world was corrupt and America was an Empire, but I was unaware to the extent. It is incredible. This book gives detailed, personal stories with facts to back them up. However, it is not all illustrating the problems. The best part was the ending where Perkins listed ways that we ourself can help. This isn't a hopeless problem where we are doomed to be mere bystanders in the bigger picture of the world. This book was terrifyingly illuminating, taking away some blissful ignorance, but it helped me take one step closer to action and actually making a positive change
