How do we stop the unrelenting evolution of the economic hit man strategy and China’s takeover?
The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestseller blows the whistle on China’s economic hit man (EHM) strategy, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions for curing the degenerative Death Economy.
In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation.
EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint. Twelve explosive new chapters detail the allure, exploitation, and wreckage of China’s EHM strategy in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
If allowed to continue its rampage, the EHM strategy—whether executed by the United States or China—will destroy life as we know it. However, all is not lost. Perkins offers a plan for transforming this system that places profits above all into a Life Economy that restores the earth. He inspires readers to take actions toward a new era of global cooperation that will end the United States’s and China’s EHM strategies for good.
Re-imagine leading and following in a world longing for true
justice, compassion and freedom followers of Christ yearn to see
the world changed in compassionate, positive, effective ways. As
prophetic voices, Shane Claiborne and John Perkins lead the way in
this move to be the hands, feet and heart of Jesus. One is young, a
self proclaimed reformed redneck who grew up in the hills of
Tennessee and now lives in inner city Philadelphia and the other is
decades older, an African-American civil rights leader who was
almost beaten to death by police in Mississippi, and went on to
found a reconciliation movement and counsel three American
presidents. Claiborne and Perkins draw on more than a century of
combined following and learning, activating and leading. Together
they craft a timely message for ordinary people willing to take
radical steps to see real change happen. In Follow Me to Freedom,
Claiborne and Perkins lead the way toward justice for all,
unfolding a proven strategy as ancient
This book describes the use of models in process engineering.
Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about
anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically,
the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and
analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process.
For example, process engineers would apply models to perform
feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental
impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents.
To manage complex systems and enable process design, the behavior
of systems is reduced to simple mathematical forms. This book
provides a systematic approach to the mathematical development of
process models and explains how to analyze those models.
Additionally, there is a comprehensive bibliography for further
reading, a question and answer section, and an accompanying Web
site developed by the authors with additional data and exercises.
* Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the
importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as
model verification, calibration, and validation.
* Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as
discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling
* Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process
modeling with examples and advances applications
***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15
EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS*** False economics. Threats, bribes,
extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled
military power. These are the tools used by the 'corporatocracy' -
a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and
rich and powerful individuals - to ensure that they retain and
expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the
poor become poorer. In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins
revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s,
and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread
their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of
trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he
lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man,
and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful
than ever before. In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John
Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the
corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the
globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also
provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the
system and its self-serving, lethal economy.

When Wayne Gordon and his wife started a Bible study for high
school kids in North Lawndale, Chicago, people warned them that a
white couple moving into a black neighborhood as a recipe for
disaster. That was twenty-five years ago. Today, what began as the
Gordons' seedling Bible study has become the Lawndale Community
Church. It has a staff of 150, has renovated more than 100 local
apartments, has helped more than 50 young people graduate from
college, runs a medical clinic that treated 50,000 patients in
1994, and has become a vital part of rebuilding an inner-city
neighborhood into a community of faith and hope. Real Hope in
Chicago is Wayne Gordon's inspiring account of how people, white
and black, rich and poor, old and young, worked together to
transform a decaying neighborhood into a place where love is lived
out in practical and miraculous ways. It offers an exciting model
for interracial cooperation, urban-suburban church partnering--and
real hope for the inner cities of our nation.
SELF-TRANSFORMATION"Only a handful of visionaries have recognized
that indigenous wisdom can aid the transition to a sustainable
world. John Perkins's wonderful story of life among the shamans
brings great insight for an industrial civilization consuming and
polluting itself toward catastrophe." --EDGAR MITCHELL, SC.D.,
Apollo astronaut, founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and
author of Raising Lazarus and The Way of the Explorer
"Shapeshifting is an engaging saga of one individual's
transformation from global businessman to on-the-ground
conservationist and healer." --MICHAEL BALICK, PH.D., author of
Plants, People, and Culture "John Perkins's wondrous storytelling
creates a journey so captivating that it shifted me beyond time and
space. A compelling book for anyone!" --STEPHAN RECHTSCHAFFEN,
M.D., cofounder of the Omega Institute and author of Time Shifting
Many indigenous cultures practice shapeshifting. Native American
hunters take on the spirit of their prey to ensure a successful
hunt; Asian medicine men "ingest" a sickness to heal the one
afflicted; Amazon warriors become jaguars to soundlessly travel the
jungle. Those who shapeshift understand that all of life is energy
and that by focusing your intent you can change energetic patterns,
rendering a new form. Shapeshifting can occur on three levels:
cellular--transforming from human to plant or animal;
personal--becoming a new self or leaving an addiction behind; and
institutional--creating a new business or cultural identity. Since
1968, master shamans in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the
Americas have been training John Perkins to teach the industrial
world about the powerful techniques involved in shapeshifting.His
groundbreaking book takes you to deserts and jungles, mountains and
oceans, medical research centers and corporate board rooms to learn
the step-by-step methods of this practice that integrates ancient
and modern techniques to bring about profound healing. JOHN PERKINS
is the author of the bestselling Confessions of an Economic Hit
Man. Shapeshifting and his other books follow his life and
adventures after Hit Man. John has applied shapeshifting techniques
to his successful career as a management consultant, president of a
U.S. energy company, and as founder of The Dream Change Coalition,
an organization that inspires executives to clean up pollution,
reshape corporate goals, and form Earth-honoring partnerships with
indigenous cultures. He is also the author of The Stress-Free
Habit, Psychonavigation, and The World Is As You Dream It.

SELF-TRANSFORMATION "The dream not only drives the action, it also
guides the action. Through John Perkins's narrative we learn this
truth as it is taught with special vividness by the indigenous
people of South America." THOMAS BERRY, author of The Dream of the
Earth and coauthor of The Universe Story "Perkins's The World Is As
You Dream It is a masterly and understanding exploration of
shamanic inner thinking, which is seldom so explicitly appreciated
by someone from our culture. . . ." RICHARD EVANS SCHULTES, Ph.D.,
coauthor of Plants of the Gods Deep in the rain forests and high in
the Andes of Ecuador, native shamans teach the age-old technique of
dream change, a tradition that has kept the cultures of the
Otavalans, Salasacans, and Shuar alive despite centuries of
conquest. Now these shamans are turning their wisdom and power to
the problem of curing a new kind of illness--that created by the
industrial world's dream of dominating and exploiting nature. John
Perkins tells the story of these remarkable shamans and of the U.S.
medical doctors, psychologists, and scientists who have gone with
him to learn the techniques of dream change. These shamanic
teachings have sparked a revolution in modern concepts about
healing, the subconscious, and the powers each of us has to alter
individual and communal reality. JOHN PERKINS is the author of the
bestselling Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. The World Is As You
Dream It and his other books follow his life and adventures after
Hit Man. John has used the knowledge he gained from master shamans
around the world in his successful career as a management
consultant, president of a U.S. energy company, and as founder of
the Dream ChangeCoalition, an organization that inspires executives
to clean up pollution, reshape corporate goals, and form
Earth-honoring partnerships with indigenous cultures. He is also
the author of The Stress-Free Habit, Shapeshifting, and
Psychonavigation.
