Book Report-Confessions of an Economic Hitman Essay

An enthusiastic young man on the threshold of launching his career to improve his lot is probably facing the first wonder of his life. He is wearing the best mask to project himself as a suitable candidate, but he has the genuine fear that the interviewers are clever passable to find out his real inner personality. He is worried about the serious negativities within him, but as the interview progresses, he realizes to his amazement that his blue past is his asset. His misdeeds are his trophies and medals. His rebellious disposition and discourtesy to his parents are his virtues.His possible contacts with the intelligence community relating to an meaning(a) enemy country carry immense weight. A few weeks after the NSA testing, I (Perkins) was offered a job to start training in the art of spying. (Chapter 1, p. 8) Perkins must have thought, it was better to receive without deserving than to merit without receiving By selecting such dubious recruits for ideal management training to run the affairs of the Nation, how secure is the future of the country? And the future of the population as regular army has tremendous influence over many countries.It is in a position to pressurize them on various counts overtly and covertly. Where this country is heading for when the foundation pitfall of democracy and free-enterprise is in fact its headstone? Human values have vanished from the democratic framework. The values that assure the dignity of the soul and the economic immunity in the real sense of the term, without any deception, are the important pre requisites for the avowed objective of the UN, The World is one Family. Many specialized doctrines have failed to achieve this objective.The muniment of the past few decades has witnessed the doomed failure of such philosophies. Only noble individuals can build a noble Nation. Only when the thought process of an individual changes, the action process also changes When the thoughts are changed, the mind is changed when the mind is changed, the man is changed when the man is changed, the society is changed when the society is changed, the nation is changed. Only such changed Nations will be in a position to say, The World is one Family. The pages of human history daubed in bloodshed pose a crying question.How to make this Planet on Earth heaven like? The answer is simple and direct. Eyes full of understanding, heart full of love, and the life that refuses conflicts these alone are enough In the split up cited above the negative qualities of Perkins are being awarded and the process is not going to build a bureaucracy or any type of force/ initiation based on truth and for human welfare. Such an agency will be utilized for subversive activities, dubious dealings and cunning machinations. From the beginning to end, communism was never a legal action it was illegitimated.They controlled the freedom of politic, social, culture, and economic. As the economic situation worsened, so did the peopl es support for the communism. (Article harm)As for the failure of the isms and corrupted versions of the surviving ones, E. F. Schumacher writes, What is at stake is not economics but culture not the standard of living but the equality of life. political economy and the standard of living can just as well be looked after by a capitalist system, moderated by a bit of supp untruth and redistributive taxation.But culture and, generally, the quality of life, can now only are debased by such a system. (Schumacher, p. 243) The need of the hour is, the administrative machinery and politics needs to be weirdized. And that is not possible by hiring recruits to the type of training sought to be given to Perkins. The main thing is a transformation of the spiritual climate, a new feeling for the difficulty and the nobility of being human, an all-pervasive fundamental disposition shared by everyone, and acknowledged by everyone within himself as the self-governing judge.To the genesis and e stablishment of that disposition poets and artists, imperceptibly working through the depth and breadth of society, can make some contribution. But it is not something that can be taught and created it must be experienced and suffered. (Glaysher. ) The problem of the day is squads of hit men are attached to departments, important ministries, defense establishments and it is they who run the administration and take important decisions in all the countrieswithout exception And men like Perkins are part of such a system and after retirement they venture to write shocking books, yet again to make millions of dollarsThe best alternative would have been to resign before retirement and then expose the administration. Not after enjoying all the benefits and perquisites provided by the administration and then confess the guilt Perkins claims that he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill his writing projectWhat is wrong in it? Perkins was engaged in similar exercises before. Where he was hiding his conscience then? A quote from an article, Complexity Digest, Different (human) cultures and social groups have developed different levels of tolerance towards lying and cheating.Whereas in some cultures, being caught in a lie implies loosing face and considerable social consequences, in other cultures learning how to lie effectively as a child has a strong correlation with later success in economic and social standing in society. Complications and confusions, as consequences of not grave the truth, are considered funny Honesty, and are a continued source of entertainment in US sitcom TV shows like Seinfeld.
