Never thought I'd be interested in watching a debate about Jamaica's economic situation, but I watched the whole thing. Very interesting debate. Tbh, I'm a bit dissapointed in the IMF division chief, props to her for debating you, but she seemed kind of clueless.

Wiesbrot is great. The IMF is the biggest and greediest private bank in the world and should be disabled. Wherever the IMF goes, poverty follows. Wherever the IMF goes poverty follows, Wherever the IMF goes..........................­............

Damn, this should have been an hour.

I've watched the whole think now. Ms Turner-Jones name ONE indebted nation that has used the IMF programme to turn it's economy around. Just one. You are in denial!

[GAAwudu]

Ms Turner-Jones, you have been captured by the IMF. I doubt you have ever really questioned your training and actually looked at the evidence. CLEARLY, without any doubt countries do better once they LEAVE the IMF programme. I know that requires you accepting your institution is a force for bad and not good and, by implication, you yourself do a terrible job, but you know what pride come before right?

@Cosbibi She's a typical imperialist lackey, loves the master more than the master loves themself. The psychological colonization that Michael Manley spoke of in the 70s is even more of a problem today. All quite sad.
