About book Manipulados (2009)

Back when i first becoming radicalized I really enjoyed John Perkins the information he provided me. Since then I have come to find him being a green capitalist and as much as I want to believe we can save the world without purchasing power I do not agree. The book makes it clear that we are headed for a cliff perhaps already over it, much like coyote in the cartoon we just don't know that we are about to fall. A very good "insiders" look at how our corporations, politicians & financial wizards are taking us down the path of destruction. Unfortunately, we have a long way to go to turn the tide around.Quote from “ Essential Information and the Consumer Education Foundation:“The financial sector invested more than $5 billion in political influence purchasing in Washington over the past decade, with as many as 3,000 lobbyists winning deregulation and other policy decisions that led directly to the current financial collapse.”
