He worked directly with heads of state and CEOs of major companies. John\u2019s <\/em>Confessions of an Economic Hit Man<em> (70 weeks on the <\/em>New York Times<em> bestseller list) is a startling expos\u00e9 of international corruption. His <\/em>The Secret History of the American Empire<em>, also a <\/em>New York Times<em> bestseller, details the clandestine operations that created the world\u2019s first truly global empire. His <\/em>Hoodwinked<em> is a blueprint for a new form of global economics. The solutions are not \u201creturn to normal\u201d ones but to soar to new heights, away from predatory capitalism and into an era more transformative than the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions.
