David at his best. Telling it like it is. He is the leader of the pack, a great scholar, lecturer, listener, motivational icon, unafraid to tell the truth, respected by all, superb story teller, a teacher and real friend to many, all over the world, including his many students from Pitt and Yale. Thanks David. You are responsible for the development of communities of equilitarian thinkers who will forever be indebted to you.
1:48:48 “Ever since the economic crisis of 1970, ‘71, ‘72-it’s been clear, the crisis, because the question that emerged in the mind of capital then is: _where can we find new avenues for profitable investment?_ In part, it’s around the world and in part it‘s in the world of services, in the world of finance, in the world of merchandising and the world of education. Mhmm, big bucks lie here and indeed with the money pouring into those areas so the number of workers.”
Jeffrey Sachs criticized the IMF for prioritizing the interests of "a few dozen international banks" over those of the governments and peoples of "Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand" in an opinion piece he wrote which appeared in the Financial Times in December, 1997. This might not be the particular Sachs piece David Montgomery refers to here but, I'd guess, this is around the time Montgomery gave this presentation.
John Perkins wrote a book, _Confessions of an Economic Hitman,_ which highlights the IMF and World Banks role in corporate colonization. It highlights his role as a corporate consultant (economic forecaster) and the process of securing corporate leverage with what appears on the surface to be “foreign aid”. A vicious cycle of loan slavery/economic austerity, predicated on a desire to extract dirt cheap resources. Find/manufacture a leader of a resource rich country who will invest loans into areas of corporate benefit (via hyperbolic economic forecasts) rather than social programs, further exacerbating poverty crises. More aid required, more terms applied-eventually perhaps a debt forgiveness package loaded with conditionalities (corporate leverage).
Totally unorganized presentation. No sense of the struggle and hard work. Nothing about capitalist persecution. I'd expect that from a Yale professor. And irritating, omnipresent giggling. Thumbs down.
