John Perkins
https://johnperkins.org/ As Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm, John Perkins (b. 1945) advised the World Bank, United Nations, IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and leaders of countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (2016), a follow-up to John’s classic New York Times bestseller, brings the story of economic hit men and jackal assassins up to date and chillingly home to the U.S. It goes on to provide practical strategies to transform the failing global death economy into a regenerative life economy. The first edition of Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man spent 73 weeks on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and has been translated into 32 languages. It, along with his other books, The Secret History of the American Empire (also a New York Times bestseller) and Hoodwinked, were ground-breaking exposés of the clandestine operations that created the current global crises; they set the stage for the revelations and strategies detailed in The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. John is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, non-profit organizations devoted to establishing a world future generations will want to inherit, has lectured at Harvard, Oxford, and more than 50 other universities around the world, and is the author of books on indigenous cultures and transformation, including Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Psychonavigation, Spirit Of The Shuar, and The Stress-Free Habit. He has been featured on ABC, NBC, CNN, CNBC, NPR, A&E, the History Channel, Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Der Spiegel, and many other publications, as well as in numerous documentaries including The End Of Poverty, Zeitgeist Addendum, and Apology Of An Economic Hit Man.

John Perkins’s great humanistic “practical strategies to transform the failing global death economy into a regenerative life economy” can be realized only on the basis of the Gandhian nonviolent spheral thinking and within the framework of the Gandhian democracy - Gandhicracy developed in the GHA (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=907). Therefore, we are happy to invite John Perkins to write the appropriate chapter in this book: “Gandhicracy Equal Spherons Economy: Life-Regenerating Economy”. -------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF in Russian.

Джона Перкинса великие гуманистические «практические стратегии по превращению глобальной экономики смерти в регенерирующую экономику жизни» реализуемы только на основе Гандианского ненасильственного сферного мышления и в рамках Гандианской демократии – Гандикратии, развиваемой в ГСГ (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=907).
