Great book - just when you thought Big Brother was watching ... you're right!

I just finished reading the book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. It is an insiders perspective on how the US leads the developed nations of the world in exploiting poorer countries, their resources and their people.
The author was an economic hitman. He went into countries, made projections on how US led construction of power grids, infrastructure projects, dams, bridges, etc all would economically benefit the receiving countries. Sounds good until you find out that these projects were done with loans from the US that the receiving country could never re-pay and would knowingly be forced to default on them. This gave the US leverage to come in and control the resources, politics and economies of many countries around the world.
Have you ever thought Iraq is about oil? Ever wondered how the Bush family's oil background impacted US policy? Does there seem to be too much coincidence in some of the third world support and who has natural resources the US needs? If you think so, you need to read this book!
