A Quick Read on Political Economy, SAPs, and Economic Imperialism

It's called "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." It's by John Perkins, a guy who claims to have actually been an "economic hit man" before suffering a some sort of guilt-induced breakdown.

Probably not the most rigorous in its explications of the programs and policies, but it's an easy read. And it's pretty heavily dramatized/narrativized, so it's compelling for a book about economics.
