Synopsis "Bretton Woods Institutions & Neoliberalism: Historical Critique of Policies, Structures, & Governance of the International Monetary Fund & the World B (in English)"
In July 1944, delegates from forty-four allied nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The meeting resulted in the creation of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("IBRD"), and the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"). This book demonstrates that current Bretton Woods Institutions' ("BWI") policies must be fundamentally redesigned, since many are archaic, and others are counter-productive to integral sustainable development in the current global economy. Further, the book argues that the dominant nations in the BWI have forced their political agendas on the rest of the world, while hiding behind the veil of these multilateral global financial institutions. The book concludes that the BWI, due to their lending policies and governing structures, have restrained authentic global development. It also proposes alternative strategies for authentic sustainable development through other multilateral global institutions.PROFESSOR MARK J.
