Download or read book 50 questions 50 r ponses sur la dette le FMI et la Banque mondiale written by Eric Toussaint and published by Editions Syllepse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dette est devenue un mécanisme très subtil de domination et le moyen d'une nouvelle colonisation, empêchant tout développement humain durable au Sud. Les politiques appliquées par les gouvernements endettés sont plus souvent décidées par les créanciers que par les autorités des pays concernés. L'initiative d'allégement de dette, lancée en fanfare par le G7, le FMI et la Banque mondiale, sous la pression de la plus grande pétition de l'Histoire (24 millions de signatures recueillies entre 1998 et 2000), a montré ses limites. Une approche radicalement différente doit être envisagée : l'annulation de cette dette immorale et souvent odieuse. Les auteurs répondent à différentes objections. Une fois libérés de leur dette extérieure, les pays ne risquent-ils pas de retomber dans le piège d'un endettement insoutenable ? Les régimes dictatoriaux et corrompus ne vont-ils pas bénéficier d'un second souffle grâce à l'annulation de la dette ? Les contribuables des pays du Nord ne vont-ils pas faire les frais d'une annulation ? Les auteurs montrent que l'annulation de la dette, condition nécessaire mais insuffisante, doit être accompagnée d'autres mesures, telles la récupération des " biens mal acquis " et leur rétrocession aux populations qui ont été spoliées. Ils proposent des voies alternatives financement, tant sur le plan local qu'international. Ils posent aussi la question : qui doit à qui ? Ils soutiennent la demande de réparations avancée par les mouvements sociaux du Sud. En cinquante questions/réponses, cet ouvrage explique d'une manière simple et précise comment et pourquoi on en est arrivé à l'impasse de la dette. Illustré de graphiques, de cartes géographiques et de tableaux, ce livre détaille les rôles des différents acteurs, l'engrenage dans lequel sont pris les pays endettés, les scénarios possibles pour sortir de l'impasse, les alternatives à l'endettement... Il expose les différents arguments moraux, politiques, économiques, juridiques, écologiques sur lesquels repose l'annulation de la dette extérieure publique des pays en développement.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis la crise de la dette qui a éclaté en 1982, malgré leurs innombrables richesses naturelles et humaines, les pays du tiers-monde sont saignés à blanc. Le remboursement d'une dette devenue colossale prive leurs populations de la satisfaction des besoins les plus élémentaires. La dette est devenue un mécanisme très subtil de domination et le moyen d'une nouvelle colonisation. La dernière initiative d'allégement de la dette, lancée en fanfare par le G8 en 2005, ne change pas la donne. Une approche radicalement différente doit être envisagée : l'annulation pure et simple de cette dette, illégitime et largement odieuse. Ce livre répond à différentes objections. Une fois libérés de leur dette extérieure, les pays ne risquent-ils pas de retomber dans le piège d'un endettement insoutenable ? Les régimes dictatoriaux et corrompus ne vont-ils pas profiter d'une annulation de la dette ? Les contribuables des pays du Nord ne vont-ils pas faire les frais d'une annulation ? Chine, Amérique latine, fonds souverains, fonds vautours, quel rôle pour ces nouveaux acteurs de premier plan ? Le remplacement de la dette publique externe par la dette publique interne constitue-t-il une solution ? Quels liens entre la dette et la crise alimentaire mondiale qui a commencé en 2007-2008 ? Les auteurs montrent que l'annulation de la dette, condition nécessaire mais non suffisante, doit être accompagnée d'autres mesures. Ils posent aussi la question : qui doit à qui ? Ils soutiennent la demande de réparations. Illustré de graphiques et de tableaux, cet ouvrage montre clairement la responsabilité des promoteurs du néolibéralisme, des institutions financières internationales, des pays industrialisés mais aussi la complicité des dirigeants du Sud. Six ans après la parution du livre " 50 questions 50 réponses sur la dette, le FMI et la Banque mondiale " qui a été traduit en huit langues (anglais, arabe, coréen, espagnol, italien, japonais, portugais et turc), Damien Millet et Eric Toussaint sortent cette version actualisée et complétée qui décrypte le discours officiel sur la dette et envisage les scénarios possibles pour sortir de l'impasse. Ils exposent les différents arguments moraux, politiques, économiques, juridiques, écologiques sur lesquels repose la revendication d'une annulation de la dette publique.

Download or read book Your Money Or Your Life written by Eric Toussaint and published by Pluto Press (UK). This book was released on 2005 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Your Money or Your Life! Eric Toussaint traces the origins and development of the crisis in global finance. Toussaint analyses the role of the World Bank, the IMF and the political restrictions they impose, examines the Structural Adjustment Programs of the 1990s, and reviews the neo-liberal policy of globalisation, which, he argues, has now run out of steam.He outlines differing experiences of debt, drawing on case studies from Argentina, Mexico, Rwanda, Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia to demonstrate the failure of the IMF/World Bank models of development. Calling for a more humanitarian and egalitarian system of handling Third World debt, this is a rigorous reassessment of global finance.

Download or read book Bankocracy written by Eric Toussaint and published by IMG Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments of the most industrialised countries have dramatically increased their public debt to bail out the private banks after the most disastrous economic and financial meltdown in capitalist history since the 1930s. Paying debts and reducing fiscal deficits have become the perfect pretexts to enforce austerity measures everywhere. The Troika (European Commission, ECB and IMF) and all EU governments have launched an unprecedented attack on people's social and economic rights. This book will enable the reader to understand how the crisis developed: the consequences of deregulating the banking system, the logic underpinning private banks' responses, and the crimes they perpetrate on a daily basis with the collusion of governments and central banks. It argues for socialisation, rather than 'nationalisation', of the banking sector so that it becomes a proper public service under citizen control and monitoring. It argues for the cancellation of illegitimate public debt that largely results from bank bail-outs. It uses simple straightforward language to make it possible for anyone to understand the current crisis and see coherent alternatives to the current policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation assesses the development effectiveness of the World Bank's lending and non-lending assistance to the Russian Federation since 1991, a 10-year period of tumultuous political, economic, and social change. This report concludes that an assistance strategy, concentrating on analytical and advisory services with limited financial support for Russia, would have been more appropriate than one involving large volumes of adjustment lending.
Download or read book Debt the IMF and the World Bank written by Eric Toussaint and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainstream economists tell us that developing countries will replicate the economic achievements of the rich countries if they implement the correct “free-market”policies. But scholars and activists Toussaint and Millet demonstrate that this is patently false. Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence, they explain how developed economies have systematically and deliberately exploited the less-developed economies by forcing them into unequal trade and political relationships. Integral to this arrangement are the international economic institutions ostensibly created to safeguard the stability of the global economy—the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank—and the imposition of massive foreign debt on poor countries. The authors explain in simple language, and ample use of graphics, the multiple contours of this exploitative system, its history, and how it continues to function in the present day. Ultimately, Toussaint and Millet advocate cancellation of all foreign debt for developing countries and provide arguments from a number of perspectives—legal, economic, moral. Presented in an accessible and easily-referenced question and answer format, Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank is an essential tool for the global justice movement.

Download or read book The World Bank written by Eric Toussaint and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely viewed with suspicion as the international economic arm of the U.S. government,the World Bank has become overwhelmingly powerful. Eric Toussaint gives a highly readable account of how this happened. In concise chapters he shows how the bank operates, who funds it, and what it sets out to promote. The World Bank's avowed purpose is to grant loans to the independent states of the developing world, to help them on their journey to recovery after colonial occupation. In reality, the conditions imposed on these states including enforced privatization of all public services, and enforced neo-liberal rules on trade mean that the Bank has become the new colonial authority in everything but name. This ambitious and critical study is a perfect book for anyone looking for a comprehensive history of the Bank and its role in world affairs. ERIC TOUSSAINT is president of the Committee for the Abolition of Third World Debt and is a fellow and frequent lecturer at the International Institute for Research and Education in Amsterdam. He is the co-author of Who Owes Who? 50 Questions About World Debt.
