Confessions of an economic hitman

In the book confessions of an economic hitman, the author explains the risks of an economic hitman, and their work. To be an economic, even though it's very well payed, as the book describes it, is the responsible of cheating countries in order to gain money from this countries.

The role of economic hitmans, is very important because they impact counties in positive and negative ways.

There are a lot of countries affected by economic hitmans, Panama for example, when the U.S wanted the canal back, economic hitmans arranged business to obtain the canal back, when the pressident declined the offer, the U.S government ordered to kille the president. The whole thing seemed an accident, but only a few people knew the truth.

Ecuador for example, was another country affected by them. The U.S government wanted power in ecuador's oil companies. Economic hitmans arranged contracts, and when the pressident refused to accept, they did exactly the same as what they did with Omar T.
