"Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man"

An insiders expose of the system used to subjugate less developed countries using the World Bank (US Taxpayer dollars) by drowning them in debt and when unable to pay it back, demand their pound of flesh in the form of natural resources, their vote in the UN, troops for Iraq etc., etc.

Easy, smooth, intriguing read

4. Looks good.

I always love Econ books that aren't pushing the Conservative agenda as doctrine.
