Check out the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" - it's about the US playboook. It's not any better.
- throwoutway 5y agoI got the feeling that book was fanciful, and maybe only 30% accurate and 70% fantasy. Has anyone corroborated it?
- doopy1 5y agoI don't doubt that the mechanics of how it's done are embellished to make a fun narrative, but the theme of tricking small nations into debt to secure a foothold is very believable to me.
- throwoutway 5y agoI agree with that assessment. China is doing this right now with their belt and roads initiative
