Confessions of an Economic Hit Man reveals a game that, according to John Perkins, is "as old as Empire" but has taken on new and terrifying dimensions in an era of globalization. And Perkins should know. For many years he worked for an international consulting firm where his main job was to convince LDCs (less developed countries) around the world to accept multibillion-dollar loans for infrastructure projects and to see to it that most of this money ended up at Halliburton, Bechtel, Brown and Root, and other United States engineering and construction companies. This book, which many people warned Perkins not to write, is a blistering attack on a little-known phenomenon that has had dire consequences on both the victimized countries and the U.S.
--------------------------------------
In his controversial book, John Perkins tells the gripping tale of the years he spent working for an international consulting firm where his job was to convince underdeveloped countries to accept enormous loans, much bigger than they really needed, for infrastructure development — and to make sure that the development projects were contracted to U. S. multinationals. Once these countries were saddled with huge debts, the American government and the international aid agencies allied with it were able, by dictating repayment terms, to essentially control their economies. It was not unlike the way a loan shark operates — and Perkins and his colleagues didn't shun this kind of unsavory association. They referred to themselves as "economic hit men." This is a story of international political intrigue at the highest levels. For over a decade Perkins traveled all over the world — Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Columbia, Saudi Arabia, Iran — and worked with men like Panamanian president Omar Torrijos, who became a personal friend. He helped implement a secret scheme that funneled billions of Saudi petrodollars back into the U. S. economy, and that further cemented the intimate relationship between the Islamic fundamentalist House of Saud and a succession of American administrations. Perkins' story illuminates just how far economic hit men were willing to go, and unveils the real causes of some of the most dramatic developments in recent history, such as the fall of the Shah of Iran and the invasions of Panama and Iraq.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, which many people urged Perkins not to write, is a blistering attack on a little-known phenomenon that has had dire consequences for both the lesser-developed countries and for American democracy.
Review by BeatleBangs1964
This is truly one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Torey Hayden has truly raised the bar in working with children and has, in pioneer fashion, blazed new trails and set new standards.
Sheila, a 6-year-old girl living in grinding poverty and raised by her single father faced some daunting odds when she entered Torey Hayden's special needs class. Abandoned by her mother, beaten by her father and facing a court ordered sentence to a hospital after a particularly violent episode, Sheila was extremely aggressive and wary. Since she had no bathing facilities in the home she shared with her father, Sheila was often dirty and underfed. It is a true testament to her courage and Torey Hayden's belief and persistence that Sheila began confiding in her within 3 days of her classroom placement. I like the way Torey Hayden started a grooming routine for Sheila, which positively impacted her behavior and interactions with others.
Sheila entered that classroom under very inauspicious conditions. The court ordered that she at least be educated until the state hospital opening was available. In that class, Sheila flourished and even made overtures to her classmates, some of whom functioned well below age level.
Luckily for all, Torey Hayden was able to recind the court order; Sheila stayed in that class for the remainder of the year and made quantum leaps and bounds. During an early testing session it was determined that Sheila had an IQ of 182. This highly gifted little girl was able to express herself eloquently. Quick to assess people and situations, Sheila had developed a survival mode early. In that class she used her natural endowments to her advantage.
The gifts this child had to offer and the gifts she received in that class are a song to the soul. There is a poignancy about her courage. She is, to a large extent, accepting of her life conditions and makes the best with available resources.
This is a book that will evoke just about every possible emotion, from sadness to anger to cheering gladly. The close of the term is indeed bittersweet; the parting of teacher and pupil is very moving indeed. One sees the progress Sheila has made and marvels at what this child unknowingly had to give.
The Pawn of Prophecy is the entry to a fantastic world full of amazing characters with depth and personality that will make you love or loathe them. The story begins with this: The Pawn of Prophecy and at the time, and throughout the entire book, you dont really know a lot of what anything has to do with Garion. If you only read this book you will not be able to wholly understand or appreciate the story as a whole. Pawn of Prophecy has a nice flowing beginning, nothing pops up that has not been carefully constructed and well thought out, a lot of what is hinted at will seem meaningless, but in the end will mean a lot more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but as I said, you will appreciate it more as you read through the series.
Review by Steven Wu
Pawn of Prophecy begins with some of the worst fantasy cliches I have ever read. Just to list a few of them: In the prologue, we read about an Evil Dark Lord who steals an Artifact of Great Power, only to have a Group of Great Heroes come and wrest the Artifact of Great Power from him. In the first chapter, we encounter a peaceful rustic setting, black riders, a woman who is Not What She Seems, an old man (dressed in gray) who enjoys amusing children in the village but who has a Greater Purpose, and a young man with a Mysterious Past. Let me put it this way: by the end of the first chapter, I already knew who was who, what they were looking for, why they were looking for it, and what Garion would eventually do.
The book also does not hesitate to use whatever mechanisms are at Eddings's hands to advance the plot. Garion, for instance, gets all sorts of weird hunches that turn out to be very important--for instance, at one point he suddenly decides to start lying, even though he has never lied before. And a "dry voice" within Garion makes him do all sorts of things that any ordinary person wouldn't think of doing. Of course, it is possible that this "dry voice" is part of Garion's Mysterious Past (I'll have to read the rest of the series to find out), but it still feels jarring to encounter it guiding the plot.
But, strangely enough, despite all these problems, I grew to enjoy this book a great deal. Halfway through I reminded myself that almost every major fantasy series post-Tolkien begins with the same cliches. But there's a reason why they're overused: they work. And sure enough, they do their magic here too. More importantly, Eddings does a pretty good job portraying the different characters. Although they're hardly subtle, he makes them seem so friendly, good-hearted, and earnest that I couldn't help but start liking them. And, most importantly, this series is funny. Aunt Pol pretending to be the Duchess of Erat, the banquet scene with King Fulchra, and even the scene where everything that I had already predicted was revealed--these scenes all left me in stitches.
I think it's best not to approach this series as the greatest fantasy series ever. Instead, think of it as a juvenile fantasy series, with much the same appeal as Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles (which I should reread some day). With that mindset, Pawn of Prophecy becomes a fun, easy read. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
1st Review by Jana
I found this book to be an inspiration. It outlined the cruelty that the black people had to endure. I love how the unthinkable happened when a white man was destined to lead the the blacks and bring all races together. I now relise one person can make a difference in the world and if we all tried to help our fellow man then what a beautiful world it would be. I have reccommended this book to plenty of my friends and family and they all agree with me, your book is a master piece and it speaks to your soul. Once you read the power of one your way of thinking is changed forever.
2nd Review by Judith Miller
Bryce Courtenay makes THE POWER OF ONE seems so authentic that the reader is carried right into the story.
The book begins when a five-year-old boy is being sent off to boarding school. He's small for his age, white and of English descent. His name is Peekay and he lives in South Africa. Up to this point in his life he's known only his family and his beloved black Nanny. Now, he's forced to take care of himself and survive under the most brutal of circumstances. The time is World War II and Peekay spends years in a boarding school where he's the only English student among Afrikaners who are sympathetic to the Nazi cause. He's beaten, tortured and treated as a "prisoner of war" by the older boys. The Afrikaners are the descendents of the Dutch and there has been a great deal of conflict between them and the English settlers who came to South Africa at a later period of time.
When I first started reading this novel, I wasn't sure if I could handle the passages about the brutal treatment of the little boy. However, I quickly learned that Peekay is a spirited survivor and would make it through that horrible period of his life. On his vacations from school, he meets several people, both black and white who really influence him and teach him to work hard in order to fulfill his dreams. I found an uplifting joy in every success that Peekay experienced.
This is a big book, but I looked forward to my reading sessions every day and I'm sure that part of this story will remain in my mind forever. The character of Peekay is very inspiring.
Review by Ratmammy
Maeve Binchy's Circle of Friends focuses on the friendships of Benny and Eve, starting from their childhood years in Knockglen, to their days at college in Dublin. Benny is a large over weight young woman, somewhat shy, and Eve is a petite girl who grew up as an orphan with a convent of nuns. Together, they share life's joys and sorrows and experience what growing up is all about.
While a few chapters focus on their early childhood, the bulk of the book takes place in College. Eve and Benny decide to go to school in Dublin, and while Eve gets to move out from the convent and into her own place, Benny ends up living at home with her over-protective parents.
Despite the fact that she doesn't have as much freedom as her college-mates, Benny does make many new friends at the college. Benny and Eve meet Nan, a beautiful young woman who befriends them on their first day of school. The three of them become best of friends, and are always seen hanging out together. On the same day, they also meet Jack Foley, a very good-looking son of a local doctor, and soon Benny falls in love with him. These two and many other new friends become part of Benny and Eve's new life at college. A lot of parties and lunches and good times are had by all.
As always, there is a huge cast of characters in this Maeve Binchy novel, along with complicated plot twists which all get resolved at the end. The book takes us back and forth between the two towns, throwing in various subplots including the story behind Eve's family history, which could be a novel in itself. The book's main emphasis, however, is friendship and betrayal, and the loyalties that one makes throughout their lives. Circle of Friends comes highly recommended from this reader.
