John Perkins Transforming Turmoil into a New Economy

"Every major crisis can be traced to corporate goals of maximizing profits regardless of the social and environmental costs. By recognizing that the market place is a democratic voting booth, we the people have the power to demand new goals, ones focused on generating a sustainable, just, and peaceful world." –John Perkins

John Perkins's classic exposé, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, spent over 70 weeks on the New York Times' bestseller lists and is published in more than 30 languages. His follow-up New York Times bestseller, The Secret History of the American Empire, provides a plan for creating a better world. It is time, Perkins says, to develop a model that takes us out of war-based, exploitative economies into ones committed to creating a world that future generations will want to inherit. Perkins is founder and board member of the nonprofit organizations Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, has lectured at universities on four continents, and is the author of five books on indigenous cultures.
