Assassins of Nations

Possibly the most deadly killer doesn’t carry a gun, doesn’t leave fingerprints, and doesn’t end up on a wanted poster. These killers wear designer suits rather than jackboots and military fatigues. They don’t assassinate individual people; they assassinate entire nations.

Economic hitmen, the corporate missionaries of empire. The smooth-talking sociopaths who convince entire countries to sign their own death warrants under the premise of “economic development.” They show up in your capital city with PowerPoints and promises of progress, and leave you with crumbling schools, gutted hospitals, and a mountain of debt so high it’ll block the sun for generations.
