Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. John Perkins' controversial and bestselling expose, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, revealed for the first time the secret world of economic hit men (EHMs). But Perkins' Confessions contained only a small piece of this sinister puzzle. The full story is far bigger, deeper, and darker than Perkins' personal account revealed. Here other EHMs, journalists, and investigators join Perkins to tell their own stories, providing the first probing and expansive look into this pervasive web of systematic corruption. With chapters spotlighting how specific countries around the globe have been subverted, A Game As Old As Empire uncovers the inner workings of the institutions behind these economic manipulations. The contributors detail concrete examples of how the "economic hit man game" is still being played: an officer of an offshore bank hiding hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen money, IMF advisers slashing Ghana's education and health programs, a mercenary defending a European oil company in Nigeria, a consultant rewriting Iraqi oil law, and executives financing warlords to secure supplies of coltan ore in Congo. Together they show how this system of corruption and plunder operates in real life, and reveal the price that the rest of the world must pay as a result. Most important, A Game As Old As Empire connects the dots, showing how the various pieces of this system come together to create the world's first truly global empire.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Champ and Walter Norbert Whipplemoore are about as different as two kids can be. well, except for their love of baseball and potato chips. Walter was different, but the players on his baseball team all liked him. Everyone but Champ, that is.  Walter was always late for practice, his shoes were old and dirty and he rode an old broken-down bike. Their differences were glaring. But that didn't stop Walter from having a great attitude and being happy. He knew he wasn't what he had on the outside, but who he was on the inside. Champ, on the other hand, lacked empathy and was crabby and unkind to Walter. He just didn't understand why Walter had so little, yet still seemed to be so popular. Didn't the other kids realize that Champ was the coolest kid because he had so many things? In the end, it is Walter and some crunchy potato chips that teach Champ a lesson about character that can't be taught in school. This book comes with a free Reader's Guide for children. The guide is available for free download from the publisher website www.CardinalRulePress.com Lesson plans, activities and discussion questions to allow parents, teachers and caregivers to explore the topic further and deepen comprehension.
