书籍简介
This all happened while Perkins was a Peace Corps volunteer. Then he became an "economic hit man" (EHM), convincing developing countries to build huge projects that put them perpetually in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions. Although he"d learned in business school that this was the best model for economic development, he came to understand it as a new form of colonialism. When he later returned to the Amazon, he saw the destructive impact of his work. But a much more profound experience emerged- Perkins was inspired by a previously uncontacted Amazon tribe that "touched its jaguar" by uniting with age-old enemies to defend its territory against invading oil and mining companies. For the first time, Perkins details how shamanism converted him from an EHM to a crusader for transforming a failing Death Economy (exploiting resources that are declining at accelerating rates) into a Life Economy (cleaning up pollution, recycling, and developing green technologies). He discusses the power our perceptions have for molding reality. And he provides a strategy for each of us to change our lives and defend our territory-the earth-against current destructive policies and systems.
这一切都发生在帕金斯还是和平队志愿者的时候。然后,他成为了一个“经济杀手”(EHM),说服发展中国家建造巨大的项目,让它们永远欠世界银行和其他美国控制的机构的债务。尽管他在商学院学到,这是经济发展的最佳模式,但他开始将其理解为一种新的殖民主义形式。当他后来回到亚马逊时,他看到了自己工作的破坏性影响。但一个更深刻的经历出现了——珀金斯受到了一个以前与世隔绝的亚马逊部落的启发,这个部落通过联合宿敌来保卫自己的领土,抵御石油和采矿公司的入侵,“触碰了美洲虎”。这是帕金斯第一次详细描述萨满教如何将他从一个EHM转变为一个改革者,将一个衰败的死亡经济(利用正在加速下降的资源)转变为一个生命经济(清理污染、回收利用和发展绿色技术)。他讨论了我们的感知对于塑造现实的力量。他为我们每个人提供了一种策略,来改变我们的生活,保卫我们的领土——地球,对抗当前的破坏性政策和系统。
