The Economic Hitman

We had been reading the book "The Confesions of an Economic Hitman" this book was written by John Perkins. In this book shows how the United States takes adventaje from smaller contries and by the way non developed contries. In this book shows the events from history, exposing it with the reality of what really happen.
We also saw a movie related to the book called "Zeitgeist Addendum." In this movie shows how the Economic Hitman work. They are supposed to lend money to littel contries and then thinking they could afford the debt. Later they will be surprised that they had to take away either land or what the country constructed.
For example in Colombia and Panama, in the construction of the canal. The USA lend money to Colombia and because they couldn´t afford the debt they take it away from them. Also in Ecuador, the US lend money and at the end of the day they end with the forest to exploit oil.
