Финансовые манипуляции, ведущие к обогащению немногих и обнищанию большей части населения страны, коррупция, терроризм — не правда ли, нам это знакомо? Такое происходит не только в России, но и во многих государствах мира. По утверждению Джона Перкинса, автора бестселлера «Исповедь экономического убийцы», за этим стоят интересы корпоратократии (союза правительств, банков и корпораций), в первую очередь американской.

Мир, который мы создали, опасен для человечества. Как такое могло случиться? Кто несет за это ответственность? Что надо сделать в интересах будущих поколений? Как изменить существующий порядок вещей? Автор не только задается этими вопросами, но и предлагает план действий, который поможет изменить мир к лучшему.

Книга адресована широкому кругу читателей.
