A good read

This is a very good book if you are just beginning to be interested in the politics and actions of the Bretton Woods instititions. It is one of the few books I have found in this area of criticism that does a good job of including actual data to back its claims without dragging the reader down in economic methodolgy.

I personally feel that every member of the developed world should read this book just to know how they are being indirectly represented abroad through their tax-dollars.


A splendid crash course

If you want to find out what the protests in Seattle (anti-WTO, December 1999) and Washington, DC (anti-World Bank and IMF, April 2000) were about, go for this book. Concise pieces of about five pages each written by leading figures of the movement for global social and economic justice, with pointers to books and organizations if you want to know more - this book is one of the best intros to the movement known to me.

READ THIS BOOK

This book is great. The reviews who have criticized this book are very uninformed people, who clearly do nothing besides preserving the status quo. I can picture them now eating their caviar while rolling down Rodeo Drive in a BMW. Anyways, read this book. Read anything and everything by Kevin Danaher, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva, etc. Open your eyes to what is going on in the world. We, the people, can, and must, reclaim our power.
