Why?

The IMF and World Bank are institutions that apply neoliberal policies to developing nations, bribing them with loans while lining the pockets of elites and multinational corporations at the expense of working people everywhere. They don't have a single success story. They are simply crushing workers and trickling all wealth to the top.

Got any proof?

Proof of what? They outline their globalization agenda everywhere. It's an institution that decides economic policy for developing nations, it is made up of unelected wealthy elites that arrange secretive deals with foreign elites, completely unaccountable to the public. Especially in the Latin American countries, they are seeing worker's rights disappear to make room for the neoliberal doctrine. Their wages are declining. The American middle class is disappearing.

Read the book.

Read the synopsis. (If I read every book ever recommended to me, I'd spend my life reading, without sleeping, or looking at my children.)

Okay, so fine. Make a global organization responsible to the citizenry of the nations that use it. Cool. Globalization? Eh, that's kind of a flag term and ambiguous. I'm all for cultural globalization. That is, uniting all people to share an ethno-diverse environment where ideas are traded freely as are traditions to the common good. Having a global currency? I don't see a problem with that. So, what's the rub about this facet of globalization he's talking about?

I support globalized solidarity, and a working class movement that reaches a global status, but the globalization that the IMF supports is globalization of capitalist economy, the transformation of national corporations into multinationals, where they may exploit developing nations, become even more unaccountable and assume more power over the working class.

I see. Thanks for laying that out for me.

With that said, how does that compromise the data reporting by the IMF in the context of this meme?
0 ups, 3y
That wasn’t my argument. Just that the IMF is a bad institution forcing capitalism onto developing nations with harmful results.

More like undoable. The "green" options available have thus far proven unreliable and inadequate to run our economy - with the exception of atomic energy. An atomic energy is not an option because politicians can't get rich off the graft of developing further atomic energy.

So do you drive an electric car? Did you put solar panels on your house? Do you head and cool with geothermal? If not, shaddap.
