Show Notes

"To give an example of what this might look like in a given year, in 2012 developing countries received $1.3 trillion, including all income, aid and investment. But that same year, more than $3.3 trillion flowed out. In other words, according to anthropologist Jason Hickel, “developing countries sent $2 trillion more to the rest of the world than they received.” When all the flows were added up from 1960 to 2017, a grim truth emerged: $62 trillion was drained out of the developing world" - Alex Gladstein Today we continue through Gladstein's incredible exploration of the monetary damage and systems of monetary colonialism established through the parasitic practices of the IMF and World Bank. I promise its worse than you think it is, and at the end of this episode we will only be about halfway through it. Hold onto your butts, this gets crazy.
