Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

In the wake of China's expansion into Africa, I'd recommend "Confessions of an economic hitman" by John Perkins.

I found that a fun read. No idea how much of it is real.

You might like this one, not sure how much of it is true and how much is made up https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins... (https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081/)

Here is my list of 2016: - The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory - The 48 Laws Of Power - Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything - Crossing the Chasm - The Richest Man in Babylon - Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - Europe: A History - The Penguin History of Europe - The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Every of the books was awesome. The only thing is that I haven't finished Europe: A History from Norman and read The Penguin History of Europe instead because the Norman book was just too long for me. But It has way more details. I switch between business-related books and non-business related (it can be everything from philosophy to language history to hardcore science) but I don't read fiction (The Richest Man in Babylon is fictional, but still the focus is on self-development). Hope you could see some titles that might interest you.

Just finished Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. It was quite the eye opener. Now I'm on Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Very funny book so far. The main character, Ignatius, is such a piece of work. I was slightly annoyed at first, but he's so odd and unique that it kept me captivated. Now everything is just really funny.
