The last couple of decades have clearly been dominated by a paradigm, one which has extolled the virtues of unbridled markets, privatisation and extreme downsizing of the public sector (state intervention in the economy); this philosophy has widened to international markets - finance and trade - and the IFIs have often championed it.
Ultimele doua decenii au fost in mod clar dominate de o paradigma, care a evidentiat virtutile pietelor liberalizate, privatizarii si reducerii radicale a sectorului public (interventia statului in economie); aceasta filozofie s-a extins pe pietele internationale -- finante si comert -- si IFI i-a scos adesea in evidenta calitatile.
