If you thought my article the other day about why I oppose drilling for oil on lake Malawi was unbalanced or not well thought through, this article titled The IMF and the WORLD BANK: Puppets of the Neoliberal Onslaught published around September /October 2000 will qualify my point and probably set you right. I’ve had it bookmarked for a while, but forgot about it until a discussion with a friend recently reminded me of it. The discussion centered upon the news a few days ago that Christine Lagarde was questioned by a court in France, answering questions over her role in a €400million payout to an ex football boss.
