    WB and IMF are international civil service monsters, staffed with arrogant and ignorant personnel who have never, intentionally or otherwise, constructed any viable policy. Read history of their policies! Always tinkering, experimenting various policies, with painful consequences for third world economies. At some point we have to say ENOUGH!
