Simon has weighed in on The Art of the Steal - and he seems especially intrigued by the Turkish edition. The book is reaching readers in multiple languages, including English and Turkish! Find the edition available to you wherever books are sold.

An Achuar hunter once told me, “I won’t kill anything that doesn’t give me permission.” Samantha A. Thomas returns to that story and asks what it means for the places where we lead. Read “Change the Dream”: johnperkins.org/blog/change-…

Simon is a good reading companion, but not much of a book reviewer. If you have finished The Art of the Steal, would you take a moment to leave an honest review where you bought it? Reviews help other readers decide whether the book is for them, and I read and appreciate what you share. Thank you for reading, and for helping this conversation travel. #catsforchange #TheArtOfTheSteal

The Achuar and Shuar taught me that to change the world, we have to change the dream. That idea is at the heart of The Art of the Steal. If you’ve read it, would you leave an honest review and let me know what you thought? It helps other readers find the book.

At Middlebury, I dreamed of becoming a writer. Those dreams were squashed for years. I never imagined my books would sell millions of copies in nearly 40 languages. Returning with The Art of the Steal feels like coming full circle.

After I quit my job as an economic hit man, I lived on a sailboat in Boston Harbor with no clear way to make a living. That was where I began thinking about the book that became Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. The Art of the Steal brings that story into the present.

Jaggy seems to know when it is time to stop and pay attention. We are surrounded by stories saying fear, scarcity, debt, and division are simply how the world works. They are perceptions, and perceptions can change. Change the dream and you change the world.

Another airport, another reminder of how much the world has changed. I used to fly all the time as an economic hit man. The security has changed. The methods have changed. And now an economic hit man is in the White House. That’s why I wrote The Art of the Steal. The book is out now! Link below.

The Art of the Steal is now the #1 New Release in Government & Business on Amazon. Thank you to everyone who has helped put this book into readers' hands. Once we see how the system works, we can change it.

On this 9/11, let's remember and honor all those who died on that tragic day in 2001—and also all the people around the world who've died violently. Let's commit to rising above violence. We have a very long history as a violent species. Time to change!

It's here! The Art of the Steal at Eagle Harbor Book Company. And everywhere books are sold. I tell how the EHM strategy I once helped carry out overseas has come home to the United States. Once we see how it works, we can change it.

For decades, I wrote about an economic hit man system operating around the world. The Art of the Steal follows that system home, asks what it is doing to our democracy, and explores what we can do about it. The book is out now.
