3. Do you agree or disagree with John Pilger's point of view?
I think that this video illustrates negative images of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, because it is stated that money that are received from WB and IMF are not a real help for poor countries but a tool for implementing the policy of WB and IMF in this countries. It is nothing else but a socialism for rich and capitalism for poor people.
ReplyDeleteI dont fully agree with the author's point of view, because WB and IMF in general terms helped many poor countries to rise their level of development, well not at full posibility considering the amount of money they received, but this i think because World Bank and IMF weren't supervisng the money to be used correctly.
