For many years, John Perkins claimed to have worked as an "economic hitman in the world of international finance"; a function he performed in persuading third world countries to embark on large-scale public works projects. Today, we recognize that these types of projects, financed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), have served to enrich American companies while creating crippling debt for these countries, thus transforming them into client states of the UNITED STATES. Having a change of heart, Perkins resigned from the company in 1981. After running a utility company, he founded the nonprofit Dream Change Coalition (http://www.dreamchange.org), who works closely with Amazonians and other indigenous peoples. to help preserve their environment and culture. Take time for a conversation with Perkins about globalization and global inequality.
