Join Andy as he interviews John Perkins, a former economic hitman, who shares his compelling and fascinating journey. From his early beginnings, dodging the Vietnam War draft by joining the NSA, to his stint with the Peace Corps in Ecuador, and eventually becoming the chief economist for a private corporation that sent him across the globe. Perkins reveals the strategies used to manipulate countries into debt, the role of the World Bank and IMF, and compares the U.S. and China’s methods of economic influence in developing nations. He also discusses the idea of a ‘death economy’ and stresses the urgent need to move towards a ‘life economy’. End on a hopeful note with insights into how young people today can contribute to a better future.
