The IMF was created at the end of World War Two to oversee exchange rates and to offer countries loans through tough cash flow crises. Today the IMF has adopted a far more significant role and has become the financial policeman of the world, bullying and begging countries to institute harsh economic policies in order that they might repay their debts, mostly to the IMF. And as America continues to bask in huge wealth and affluence the rest of the world teeters on the brink of economic collapse. The supremacy of the US over the global economy is thanks in large measure to their dominance of the IMF. They've used this influence to exert pressure on international markets to reform. But there are many who accuse the IMF of acting less like an honest broker and more like the corrupt businessmen who initially caused the disasters. During the boom years the IMF looked the other way as corruption flourished around the world. Now the allegation is that multi-billion dollar IMF bail-outs are helping the same businesses which prospered under crony capitalism.

The IMF is a fraud. It loans large amounts of money to countries in trouble with impossible to pay back terms. Then they are forced to give up there resources in return for repayment.

The World bank, IMF and WTO are the REAL Axis of Evil.

The USA is going bankrupt, like the Soviet Union did fighting in Afganistan and why they lost the cold war. And that's exactly what Bin Laden's goal is like he told everyone on Aljazeera TV. What an idiot Bush is. I knew his economics tutor. He told me Bush couldn't fathom economics, no matter how hard he tried to teach him.

[SpudXXXX]

True bearhamo! The IMF send in their hitmen to bribe and corrupt governments into accepting loans that will bankrupt the country. Then they take over the infrastructure and resorces. An evil organisation making money for the banksters.

It's true, in all poor countries, IMF is more powerful than the sitting government-it dictates their economic policies...

One of the most ironic things is that the IMF and World Bank are the biggest examples that could ever be dreamed up of the type of "Commanding Heights" abhorred by Friedmanites. Telling all these countries to pursue the same export strategy as if that wouldn't drive prices down. What a genius move that was. Good thing China's growth came along or most of these countries would never recover.
