The author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman details the experience that transformed him into an activist.

When New York Times-bestselling author John Perkins was a young Peace Corps volunteer, his life was saved by an Amazonian shaman who taught him to touch the jaguar-to transform his fears into positive action. He went on to become an economic hit man (EHM), convincing developing countries to build huge infrastructure projects that put them perpetually in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions. Although he sincerely believed this was the best model for economic development, he came to realize it was really a new form of colonialism. Returning to the Amazon, he saw the destructive impact of his EHM work. But he also was inspired by a previously uncontacted tribe that touched its jaguar by uniting with its enemies to defend its territory against invading oil and mining companies.
