About the event
Perkins has spent decades exposing the hidden machinery behind economic coercion. His new book asks what happens when those same tactics are turned inward: fear as leverage, debt as discipline, and politics as a system for concentrating wealth.
The Portland event is a chance to hear Perkins make the case in person and connect the new book to the work that made Confessions of an Economic Hit Man a global bestseller.
Powell's City of Books
