Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a book written by John Perkins. It describes how people called "Economic Hit Men" use tricks to persuade people in other countries to accept big loans from banks like the World Bank, IMF, and USAID. These loans are often used to benefit businesses from the country that's lending the money. It is a way of getting other countries to do things that make people from the lending country rich.
