The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $25,000 by August 9.
In his first book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins told the story of a high-paid consultant who strong-armed world leaders into creating policies favorable to the U.S. government and corporations — “the corporatocracy.” It was a true story, alarming in its sordid detail, and it was all his own. Now Perkins is back with a second book, The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals and the Truth About Global Corruption, which takes readers to hot spots around the world in a thrilling, frightening tour of the coming geopolitical crisis and shows “the importance of rising to higher levels of consciousness,” he says, “to waking up — in both the spiritual and physical realms.” He’ll be in our physical realm at 7:30 p.m. tonight, speaking and signing copies of his book at a Boulder Book Store-sponsored event at First United Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce Street in Boulder.
