In their 60th anniversary year, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank will attempt to highlight their "assistance" to Africa. But in reality, since the 1970s, these institutions have gradually become the chief architects of policies that are responsible for the worst inequalities and the explosion of poverty in the world, especially in Africa. When they began to intervene on that continent in the late 1970s and early 1980s, their stated goal was to "accelerate development." But the actual record is just disastrous, as this article reveals.
在国际货币基金组织和世界银行成立60周年之际，它们将试图突出自己对非洲的“援助”。但实际上，自20世纪70年代以来，这些机构已逐渐成为导致全球，尤其是非洲最严重不平等和贫困激增政策的主要制定者。20世纪70年代末80年代初，当它们开始在非洲大陆进行干预时，宣称的目标是“加速发展”。但正如本文所揭示的，实际记录却是灾难性的。
