PALM BEACH GARDENS — Consultant-turned-activist John Perkins tapped into anti-globalization sentiment in 2004 with Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, a surprise hit that reached The New York Times bestseller list.

Perkins' latest book, The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth About Global Corruption, offers more evidence of American perfidy in the developing world. It's set to be published June 5 by Dutton Adult.

"It's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer sustainable," Perkins writes.

In his 2004 work, Perkins, who lives in Palm Beach Gardens, recounted his work as an international financial consultant in the 1970s. He quit after realizing that the ultimate goal of his job, for all the do-gooder bluster, was not to ease the world's suffering but to make the rich richer.

A Publisher's Weekly review of the new book indicates Perkins is unlikely to change many minds.

"Gathering evidence is not Perkins' strong suit," the review said. "Typically, a shadowy figure pulls him aside, insists on anonymity, then reveals all."
