Down the Great Financial Drain: How debt and the Washington Consensus destroy development and create poverty

Susan George

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue 2, 4-11

Abstract: Susan George in her critique of the power of the Washington Consensus argues that leaving a nation's economy and people to the mercies of the ‘free market’; in other words to the dominant international financial players interested only in short-term profits, is the equivalent of leaving the free fox to guard the free henhouse.
