Over 40 percent of the book is new, including chapters identifying today's EHMs and a detailed chronology extensively documenting EHM activity since the first edition was published in 2004.

What Hacker News says
- This is the (John Perkin's coined term) "Corporatocracy" at work.
If you want to know how and why it is like this, read Perkin's books (atm I'm reading "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"). It's why Meta will not get sued but Aaron was, and it is why ships are now lining up in front of the Panama canal paying as much as 400k for a crossing with little of that wealth making it to the people of Panama.
- "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" talks about China moving into the loans and takeover market, following in the footsteps of the United States.
- There is a new edition of the book mentioned above if anyone's interested: "The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man."
