Title: Great Book and Very Depressing
Product review: The author is very detailed on how the world's banks (IMF, World Bank) etc. extend the hand of help with conditions. Essentially, these organizations sole purpose colonization without the invasion; instead it is done with a stroke of a pen.As I was reading, I found myself getting very angry and very depressed at the same time. Time and time again, humanity is made to suffer at the hands of a privileged few who think they have the right and are entitled to the world's resources because they consider themselves to be "Special (above the rest of the rest of humanity)."The book was written in 2003 but has been updated with some recent events. The IMF and World Bank's Modus Operandi (takeover of the country's governement; forcing austerity, decimating the labor force: result poverty) is being played out in Greece at this very moment in history. Fortunately, the Greek people seem to be rebelling against this and I hope they hold out and win!
