The Blood Bankers: Tales from the Global Underground Economy » (Reprint)

Accounts of third world economic collapse, failed development, and mounting debt frequently hide the pernicious role of first world banks, corporations, and politicians, avers journalist Henry. He investigates a number of financial scandals in the Philippines, Brazil, Nicaragua, Argentina, Iraq, and elsewhere, disentangling the money paths in an effort to demonstrate the way first world elites encourage corruption and financial criminality in order to line their own pocketbooks at the expense of most of the world's citizens.
