Buku Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (EHM) yang lama aku nanti-nantikan akhirnya sampai juga. Nggak lama-lama banget seh. Aku pesen di amazon.co.uk tanggal 15 Juli, 27-nya sudah sampai. Just like reading a novel, but this one is a true story. John Perkins tells his own inner journey from willing servant of empire to impassioned advocate for the rights of oppressed people. Covertly recruited by the United States National Security Agency and on the payroll of an international consulting firm. Travelled the world – to Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other strategically important countries. His job was to implement policies that promoted the interests of the U.S. corporatocracy while professing to alleviate poverty-policies that alienated many nations and ultimately led to September 11 and growing anti-Americanism. I bought the book out of curiosity of what the fuss is all about! Mas Singgih and Mita want to have a copy of this book. Mas Singgih said that Depok is the best place to do that.
