Basically the author claims that the US gives high interest loans to developing countries for industrial projects such as dams and power plants, with all work going to US contractors, based upon inflated economic ofrecasts, and then when the economic benefits fall short of the estimates, the countries are forced to pay the US with cheap oil, military bases and UN votes. Basically economic blackmail. Economic hitmen are selected by the CIA but work for NGO's to shiled the government.
