Hidden Repression - How the IMF and World Bank Exploit Poor Countries

💵 This is a paid event and the proceeds will go the Human Rights Foundation. Please purchase a ticket before the event!

Join Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation, to discuss his latest book "Hidden Repression: How the IMF and World Bank Sell Exploitation as Development"

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors.

But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home.

The Bank and the Fund’s “development and assistance” has been anything but. The reality is a history of neocolonial exploitation with shocking results.
