经济杀手，是指那些拿着高薪的顶尖专业人士，他们从世界各国攫取了数以千亿计的金钱。这些钱，通过世界银行，美国国际开发署以及其他国外的援助机构，装入到美国各大集团公司的金库和少数控制全球自然资源的显赫家族的口袋中。经济杀手用尽各种高明手段：伪造财政报告、操纵选举、贿赂、敲诈，色诱乃至谋杀。他们玩的是美国“帝国霸权”时代一开始就有的“老把戏”，在经济全球化的时代，其规模空前庞大，令人恐怖。 我清楚这一切！因为我曾经就是一名经济杀手！ ——约翰•珀金斯

在自卡尔•马克思的《共产主义宣言》出版以来的一个半世纪中，这个负载马克思名字的学说在平等和正义的名义下为数百万人所接受却又戏剧性地，随着共产主义在西方世界的衰落而失去了它的魅力。然而，就在自由市场在被看作是灾难性的对管制的退避的核爆中走向极限的时候，对资本主义最严格、最有说服力的敌人的重新评价，前所未有地及时。 埃里克•霍布斯鲍姆提供了一种迷人的、充满洞见的对马克思主义的总体回顾。他探索了马克思主义的多种影响来源——从对贵格会运动到马基雅维利——以及马克思主义在法国大革命和德国哲学中的源流。他对马克思主义思想家即核心文本——从恩格斯的《工人阶级的境况》到葛兰西的《狱中笔记》到《共产主义宣言》本身——进行了考察，并对过去三十年来马克思主义的时运的惊人反转进行了分析。通过出色、深刻、充满能量且内容广泛的工作，《如何改变世界》毫无疑问地向我们展示了这点：卡...(展开全部)
