JOHN PERKINS - "The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hitman Presidency"

Event Date: September 15, 2026
Time: 4:00 pm

JOHN PERKINS, New York Times bestselling author, will talk about his new book, The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hitman Presidency (Pub. Sept. 8, 2026). In Perkins’ previous groundbreaking Confessions of an Economic Hit Man trilogy, he exposed the complex, expansive, and clandestine global network that serves the interests of powerful corporate, financial, and political entities. Since World War II, US presidents of both parties have relied on an economic hit man strategy. In The Art of the Steal, he reveals its most dangerous evolution. Donald Trump represents a historic shift. He is the first US president to turn the economic hit man strategy into a personal brand and governing style. But, he has also managed to bring clandestine policies out into the open.

Some of the Ideas Perkins will talk about:
* How the economic hitman strategy moved from foreign policy to domestic politics.
* The 4 pillars of the economic hitman playbook: Fear, Debt, Manufactured Scarcity, and Division.
* What individuals can do to help reverse this trend.
* How Corporate, Financial, and Political interests work together behind the scenes.
This program will be on Zoom.
