Mortgaging the Earth: The World Bank, Environmental Impoverishment and the Crisis of Development

- Description
- Reviews
This is a comprehensive and devastating critique of the policies of the World Bank, the biggest source of development finance in the world, and their effects on the societies and environments of the countries it operates in. Rich argues that the Bank has become a law unto itself - propelled by institutional momentum rather than rational assessment - with the results of supporting unpopular regimes, imposing economic adjustment on countries to ensure loan repayments, and by these acts bringing misery to the very people it was originally founded to help - the poor. A valuable contribution to a key debate.
