Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins
Discusses the international corporations and how they and governments run corrupt schemes all over the world. Cites many many many examples, specifically his own 'hits' in places like Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, and others.

I read this in October of last year in a book club. I thought the book was great. One of those books that make you see things differently in the world around you. It is sad learning about the greediness that drives so much of human misery. The murder of the Panamanian president was really painful to read.
