I'm halfway through reading The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins (who is now doing great things in the worId). This compelling and candid page turner needs to be adapted by a savvy, experienced screenwriter.
From the back cover:
'Economic Hit Men are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of billions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder.'
It's got everything!
Just putting it out there.
