According to John Perkins, "economic hit men are highly paid professionals who defraud nations all over the world out of trillions of dollars." They use extortion, prostitution, murder, payoffs, crooked elections, and fake financial reports as instruments.
John Perkins was an economic hit guy, so he should know. It was his responsibility to persuade nations that the United States considers strategically significant—from Indonesia to Panama—to accept huge loans for the construction of infrastructure, and to ensure that U.S. businesses were awarded the profitable contracts. Due to their massive debts, these nations were taken over by the US government, the World Bank, and other US-dominated assistance organizations, who functioned like loan sharks, setting strict conditions for repayment and intimidating other governments into complying.
