However, he soon discovers the darker realities of his role in a system designed to indebt countries and ensure their dependence. The story follows his moral awakening and his struggle to reveal the truth about this hidden network of corporate influence and governmental ties, facing significant pressure to remain silent. The book explores themes of global power dynamics, corporate corruption, and the personal cost of complicity.
