Buying the New Yorker - Page 9

Another book, this time the paperback release of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. We are given a website for the publisher, or the publisher's main company. The book is being put out by Plume. Plume is a member of the Penguin Group which itself is a Pearson Company. The ad gives you the address for The Penguin Group, when you go there, you first specify your country and then search for this particular book. Simple, no?

When I was in college, a dorm mate and I had a long discussion about his ambition to become a "corporate ninja." His plan was to get a Business degree while also working on his fighting skill as ninjas were highly prized in the modern business world.

"So you're telling me that say, Coca-cola has a squad of ninjas that they send into combat against the Pepsi-co ninjas?" I asked.

"Yes." He replied.

I believe he was expelled after one too many attempts at scaling the side of a building. This book sounds right up his alley.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins (paperback edition) - $15.00
