The World Bank and IMF are controlled exclusively by the rich nations and work exclusively int he poor nations. They
set conomic policies for those poor nations and effectively deny the governments of those nations from making an attempt at
setting their own econimc policies.
After the colonies of the old empires started gaining their independance in the 50's 60's and 70's, their former rulers
effectively turned their backs on them and left them to pick up the peices of their broken country, and what little aid we
did provide them, we now expect them to pay back in debt. Our empires were built upon the backs and at the expense of
the third world, and now instead of aiding them in their struggle for economic stability we are expecting them to pay us huge
debts! Whats more, western corporations move into these countries and exploit their resources and raw materials by paying
workers in the countries in question poor wages and recruiting ex-patriots to manage their facilities by paying their wages
in tax free dollars through secret acounts.
