My friend Stan is approaching his 50th and in his old age is becoming a bit of a conspiracy theorist. He emailed me a list of books to read, most of which are not easy to find, but Confessions was on it, so I ordered the new, expanded book to see what the fuss is all about.

No one but the most hard-bitten defender of U.S. foreign policy would deny that the United States dominates a global empire bigger than any other in human history and that we have employed highly questionable and often illegal means to build it.

Make America great again? Well, this book is a written prove that America was never great.

“A true story that reads like a page-turning novel.” Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author
“Conspiracy buffs are most likely to enjoy this updated version of a memoir that was a surprise bestseller in 2004 This revised version, he states, was written to answer the thousands of emails he received from readers interested in what they could do to resist.” Publisher’s Weekly
“The New Confessions offers deep insights into the nefarious ways economic hit men and jackals have expanded their powers. It shows how they came home to roost in the United States—as well as the rest of the world. It is a brilliant and bold book that illuminates the crises we now face and offers a road map to stop them.” John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
“I loved Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Ten years ago it exposed the real story. The New Confessions tells the rest of that story—the terrible things that have happened since and what we all can do to turn a death economy into a life economy.” Yoko Ono, artist, singer, songwriter, and peace activist
“When I read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, I could not have known that, some years later, I would be on the receiving end of the type of ‘economic hit’ that Perkins so vividly narrated. The New Confessions resonates with my experiences of the brutish methods and gross economic irrationality guiding powerful institutions in their bid to undermine democratic control over economic power. Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power.” Yanis Varoufakis, former minister of finance, Greece
