As an Economic Hitman (EHM), John Perkins helped further American imperial interests in countries such as Ecuador, Panama, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. As Chief Economist for the international consulting firm Chas. T. Main, he convinced underdeveloped countries to accept massive loans for infrastructure development and ensured that the projects were contracted to multinational corporations. The countries acquired enormous debt, and the US and international aid agencies were able to control their economies. He tried to write this book four times but was threatened or bribed each time to halt. The events of 9/11 - a direct result of the activities of EHMs in the 1970s - finally forced him to confront the role he played himself, and to reveal the truth to the rest of the world. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man has become a word-of-mouth bestseller in the US. It has been called the book that finally 'connects the dots, the book that best explains what is really going on in the world'.

This is a book about social change in the United States during the twentieth century. It relies on statistical trends to tell that awesome story. The twentieth century was the first century that could be measured in a systematic manner. Those who saw it coming included President James A. Garfield who, while still a congressman in 1869, observed in a speech to the U.S. House of Representatives: The developments of statistics are causing history to be rewritten. Till recently, the historian studied nations in the aggregate, and gave us only the story of princes, dynasties, sieges, and battles…. Now, statistical inquiry leads him into the hovels, homes, workshops, mines, fields, prisons, hospitals, and all other places where human nature displays its weakness and its strength. In these explorations he discovers the seeds of national growth and decay, and thus becomes the prophet of his generation.

By showing how to employ rather than compromise moral standards, this timely book provides a roadmap for achieving success by sticking to the high road, and for building a business career that is both personally and materially rewarding.

It is widely assumed that Americans care little about income inequality, believe opportunities abound, admire the rich, and dislike redistributive policies. Leslie McCall contends that such assumptions are based on both incomplete survey data and economic conditions of the past and not present. In fact, Americans have desired less inequality for decades, and McCall's book explains why. Americans become most concerned about inequality in times of inequitable growth, when they view the rich as prospering while opportunities for good jobs, fair pay, and high quality education are restricted for everyone else. As a result, they favor policies to expand opportunity and redistribute earnings in the workplace, reducing inequality in the market rather than redistributing income after the fact with tax and spending policies. This book resolves the paradox of how Americans can express little enthusiasm for welfare state policies and still yearn for a more equitable society and forwards a new model of preferences about income inequality rooted in labor market opportunities rather than welfare state policies

На первый взгляд инвестиционный менеджмент (управление инвестициями) кажется довольно простым делом. Состоятельные инвесторы могут сформировать портфель ценных бумаг, в основном состоящий из акций и облигаций первоклассных промышленных компаний США (их также называют "голубыми фишками"), а также казначейских облигаций и векселей. Возможности менее обеспеченных инвесторов несколько более ограничены и сводятся главным образом к сберегательным и сберегательным облигациям США. Если инвестиционную среду среду представить в виде стаканчика мороженого, то можно сказать, что инвесторы прошлых лет могли рассчитывать только на "шоколад или ванилин".. Отражая многообразие современного общества, инвестиционный стаканчик мороженого предлагает публике тысячи оттенков вкуса. Инвесторы сталкиваются с ошеломляющим количеством возможностей. Наибольшим спросом пользуются акции и облигации крупных американских компаний и долговые обязательства Казначейства США. Однако если вспомнить лишь о некоторых возможностях инвестирования, то инвесторы сегодня могут приобрести акции небольших американских компаний; акции и облигации компаний, чьи головные офисы расположены от Лондона до Окленда; высокодоходные облигации; облигации, обеспеченные пулом ипотек; векселя с плавающей ставкой; свопы; опционы пут; опционы колл и фьючерсные контракты. Этот список кажется бесконечным, и он продолжает увеличиваться. Более того, приобретение этих бумаг сегодня стало более дешевым и удобным в связи с распространением средств сообщения и компьютерных сетей. Немалую роль в этом играет и развитие взаимных фондов, предлагающих свои услуги как крупным, так и мелким инвесторам. Предметом данной книги являются инвестиции в ценные бумаги, обращающиеся на финансовом рынке. В соответствии с этим основное внимание уделяется понятиям инвестиционной среды и инвестиционного процесса. Инвестиционная среда характеризуется типами бумаг, обращающимися на рынке, условими их приобретения и продажи. Понятие инвестиционного процесса связано с тем, каким образом инвестор принимает решение при выборе бумаг, объемов и сроков вложения.
