Weekend Post 2 "Identify and explain at least two global or regionalconsequences of Economic Hit men practices."

In his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"Johns Perkons definition of an economic hit man is as follows "highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign ‘aid' organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources."

Although it can be considered conspiracy or fact depending how you see it  John Perkins backs up all he states with evidence and personal experience.

One example of how an Economic Hit Man affected a region would be  the country of Panama.Perkins was sent to Panama to strike a deal with Panama. The objective was to of course help Panama to get in dept with the US in order to go back to being a puppet .Perkins, however failed an because of this  Omar Torrijos (Ex-President of Panama) was killed(Confessions of an Economic Hitman).

Another effect was when Torrijo was replaced by Manuel Noriegua who according to Perkins "became a symbol of corruption and decadence." This according  to Perkins statement in the film Zeitgeist Addendum gave the US an excuse to invade Panama and make Panama their puppet again(Zeitgeist Addendum).
