SummaryA problem that has been a matter of global worry for the last decade is the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank’s strangle hold on the growth and economic development of developing countries. The IMF and World Bank are supported by developed countries and continue to be supported by them to this day. Only recently has a call for full debt forgiveness become a popular subject. The need for this debt forgiveness is supposed to provide these undeveloped countries with the opportunity to grow and become respectable members in the global village. Two articles that discuss this issue are Denise Froning’s “Will Debt Relief Really Help?” and Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman’s “The IMF Stumbles”. Denise Froning talks about the need for debt forgiveness and lack of support from developed countries. She also discusses a general plan on what is needed to solve the problem. Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman discuss the strangle hold the IMF has on the developing countries and the growing levels of protest in developing countries.
