Description

John Perkins' memoir reveals how his experiences in the online marketplaces transformed him from an economic hit man to a crusader for change. As a young Peace Corps volunteer, he was saved by an Amazonian shaman who taught him to "touch the jaguar" - transforming fears into positive action.

In this book, Perkins recounts his journey from convincing developing countries to build infrastructure projects that perpetually put them in debt, to discovering a previously uncontacted tribe that united with its enemies to defend its territory against destructive forces. He shares how these experiences converted him to a new way of thinking about economics and the impact of human activity on the planet.

Perkins provides a strategy for each of us to change our lives and defend the earth against destructive policies and systems, offering a vision for a flourishing Life Economy that renews itself. A thought-provoking and timely account of one man's journey towards transformation and redemption.
