*by E***N on May 1, 2025*

I’ve had this book sitting on my iPhone for a while, and finally I pushed myself to read it. For that I’m glad, for it’s a very good book. It’s an important book. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins share many similarities with the books of F. William Engdahl, especially Myths, Lies, and Oil Wars, but there are also differences. I’ll get back to where the two men disagree. Both are history books. They explain why and how the world turned into what it is today, the political landscape, the war about resources, all the money-grabbing schemes, the problem with the money system of today, and why the rich are getting richer while the poor are turning into slaves. Just like the spice merchants of old, the oil companies have a lot of power. Enough money and power to shape the world around them. Perkins talks about «corporatocracy». How the megacorporations rule the world. They choose the politicians, not the other way around. They control the narrative, and they trick the people to think they have democracy. They send out their hit men, the EHMs, they own the banks, the government. They decide what kind of money system we are forced to use. Go against them, and you risk ending up having an «accident». Originally I was going to rate the book five stars, but there are inconsistencies, factual errors, and spelling errors. Where Engdahl is clear about the origins of oil and gas, Perkins for some reason uses Big Oil’s own term Fossil Fuels. That term, alongside Peak Oil, was coined by Rockefeller, to create an illusion of scarcity, while in reality oil and gas will keep bubbling up from the deep as long as the Earth has a liquid metal core. I also wonder if Perkins is aware that mankind always has, and probably always will, exist within the Quaternary ice age? Ice ages last for millions of years, and while we’re lucky to live within an interglacial, the Quaternary isn’t likely to end anytime during the next hundred million years. He talks about CO2 and climate change, and it’s really confusing. Doesn’t he know who stood behind the Neo-Malthusian Club of Rome? A warm and green world is the best we can hope for, but scared people are always easier to rule. Perkins calls them Death and Life economies, but isn’t it really about Keynesian and the Austrian Economics? One creates hyper-inflation and regularly crashing markets, making the rich richer and the poor poorer, while the other is stable and fair, with no need for a money monopoly. While less important, there are also a few spelling errors. Sometimes our planet is called «earth» and at other times «Earth». Name of planets shall of course have a capital first letter. «Flammable» should be «inflammable» (see the writer’s bible «Elements of Style»). When talking about percentages one should choose between the forms «five percent» and «5 %». Don’t mix them. There are many more, but I’ll stop there. If you’ve read this book, don’t stop there. I also recommend Engdahl’s Myths, Lies, and Oil Wars, and Fraudcoin by Rune Østgård. These books are telling you what’s really going on.
