Publisher's Synopsis
Presenting ten concise arguments challenging international financial institutions like the WTO, the IMF and all advocates of free trade, Danaher outlines how trade liberalisation in fact further widens the gap between rich and poor in all nations. Revealing the lies and hypocricies behind the IMF's lending policies in the Third World, which actually threaten local democracies and force cuts to social programs, Danaher reveals the impact 'free market' ideology has on the quality of everyone's everyday lives with humour and clarity.
