A Game as Old as Empire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Game as Old as Empire (ISBN 978-1-57675-395-8) is a collection of accounts from investigators, journalists and self-proclaimed economic hitmen about the secret world of global corruption. Each chapter contains a story about a different aspect of the "web of global corruption." The book is edited by Steven Hiatt, with an introduction by John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, the first person to bring to light this kind of information about corporate corruption.
