Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Is a MUST READ!
I just finished listening to the audio book on my IPOD. This book really puts the Corporate control over our government into perspective. It's a scary read but really important to understand how things have been intertwined for so long and how we got to where we are now.

5. From the book it seemed
as if the company he worked for and his colleagues stopped caring if he told his story. Maybe the fact that his book and other books like it are out there is a hopeful sign that things are unraveling.
