فن السرقة: ترامب ورئاسة القاتل الاقتصادي

Since World War II, US presidents from both parties have relied on the “economic hitman” strategy. They have used the four pillars of this strategy (fear, debt, anxiety about shortages, and divide-and-rule) to control other countries and enrich a growing oligarchy. In his groundbreaking Confessions of an Economic Hitman trilogy, John Perkins exposes the complex, vast, and secretive global network serving the interests of powerful corporate, financial, and political institutions. In his book The Art of Theft, he reveals its most dangerous developments. Donald Trump represents a historic shift. He is the first American president to turn the "economic killer" strategy into a personal brand and governing style. He went beyond the Four Pillars, applied this strategy in the United States, and reversed progress toward the American ideal of freedom, equality, justice, democracy, equal opportunity, and individualism that supports family and community. At the same time, he was forced to reveal what was hidden. This book explains how this happened? - why this is important, and - what each of us can do to change things. It is both a warning and a blueprint, offering a path to renew the American ideal—and use it to model a new global ideal.
