He brings us up to date about the way the economic hit man system has spread from developing countries to the US, Europe, and the rest of the world and offers a strategy for turning this around. “Each of us," he says, “can participate in this exciting revolution. We can transform a system that is consuming itself into extinction into one that is sustainable and regenerative."John's books, including The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, have sold over a million copies, spent more than 70 weeks on the New York Times bestseller lists, and are published in more than 30 languages. As Chief Economist at a major consulting firm, his experiences advising the World Bank, UN, IMF, U.S. government, Fortune 500 corporations, and heads of state convinced him to devote his life to facilitating changes in social, political, and economic systems, as well as in general consciousness. He was founder and CEO of a highly successful alternative energy company and is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, nonprofits dedicated to creating a sustainable, just, peaceful, and thriving world.
John's courage in writing his books and speaking out against his former bosses exemplifies the courage shown by our Founding Fathers and Mothers when they stood up to the British Empire. Like them, John defied threats and bribes and took action.
Excellent... I remember when this started to change in the US. Corporations started serving stockholders rather than communities and people. Cheap crappy throw away products instead of quality. Places once fun to work became stressful. Expanded territories and perpetual inventories. You could feel the warmth leaving. I really hope this catches on again. Most of the now multinationals started out being the best at what they did, treated people well and had a quality product to offer. I can think of 20 brands off of the top of my head that changed for the worse. As they expanded globally their quality dropped drastically.
I just realised you resteemed this. Thank you very much for that.
Thank you for your feedback. Very insightful.
