When New York Times bestselling author John Perkins was a young Peace Corps volunteer, his life was saved by an Amazonian shaman who taught him to ""touch the jaguar""--to transform his fears into positive action.
He provides a strategy for each of us to change our lives and defend our territory--the earth--against destructive policies and systems..
For the first time, Perkins details how his experiences in the Amazon converted him from an EHM to a crusader for transforming our failing Death Economy that destroys its own resources and nature itself into a flourishing Life Economy that renews itself.
But he also was inspired by a previously uncontacted tribe that touched its Jaguar by uniting with its enemies to defend its territory against invading oil and mining companies.
Returning to the Amazon, he saw the destructive impact of his EHM work.
Although he sincerely believed this was the best model for economic development, he came to realize it was really a new form of colonialism.
He went on to become an ""economic hit man"" (EHM), convincing developing countries to build huge infrastructure projects that put them perpetually in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions.
