John Perkins is our guest this episode where we talk about the early days of his career as a “economic” hitman to some of the work he is doing now. We discuss the reasons for the involvement of the U.S. in the global arena and how that has changed. Oil is the common denominator of the discussion.
Earnings season is kicking in and there are a slew of companies that will be reporting this week. A dozen or so of these will give us a good read-through on the state of the global economy.
