The Forum
John Perkins
Geopolitics, the Future and You: A Call to Action
Monday, December 8, 2008
Zorn Arena | 7:30 P.M.
"A sweeping, bold assault on the tyranny
of corporate
globalization, full of drama and adventure,
with devastating stories of greed run wild."
- Howard Zinn
A startling exposé of international corruption, John Perkins’ Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (2004) spent more
than a year on The New York Times bestseller list.
In his latest New York Times bestseller, The Secret History
of the American Empire (2007), Perkins details the clandestine operations that created the world’s first truly global empire and provides a compassionate plan for creating a stable, sustainable, and peaceful world.
He will discuss the epiphany that initiated his personal change and the reasons he is optimistic that we can create societies our children will be proud to inherit.
Interpreted for the deaf and hard of hearing.
