Confessions of an Economic Hit Man — Why Development Can Produce Dependency

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

Author: John Perkins

This episode explores Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins as a systems-level analysis of how debt-based development systems influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how infrastructure financing, GDP metrics, and sovereign debt connect to larger geopolitical and economic structures.
