Summary:

These studies further show that IMF/World Bank policies have induced or intensified the finalization of poverty and have reversed a great deal of the socioeconomic gains of the post-colonial era of the last thirty years. These studies embrace the research of a multi-disciplinary range of scholars from three continents. The area of focus is Africa and the Caribbean. Among the programs included are the removal of subsidies for health and education, privatization and the various forms of shock therapy with which currency devaluations have been associated.
