He discusses how the U.S. "helps" other Third World economies in the effort to boost their industry, only to place the target country into so much debt with the United States that they must negotiate concessions such as allowing U.S. Military bases to be placed on their home turf, other resource mining, etc... Very interesting stuff. Great post though. I enjoyed reading Chad Brown's article. I read the book “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkins recently.
