The World Bank, the most important so-called development assistance agency, annually dispenses billions of dollars to Third World governments, ostensibly to "develop" their economics through a variety of loan projects. But even a superficial analysis reveals that the Bank is the perfect mechanism to help (i.e., subsidize) the large transnational corporations from the industrial countries to expand their industrial, commercial, and financial activities in the Third World, at the expense of the latter and particularly at the expense of the rural and urban proletariat. This article discusses Cheryl Payer's recent book, The World Bank: A Critical Analysis, in which she analyzes the Bank's role in the Third World and sets forth the major reasons why poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, as well as unemployment, and all the adverse social phenomena associated with them, are on the increase.
世界银行,这个最重要的所谓发展援助机构,每年向第三世界国家政府发放数十亿美元,表面上是通过各种贷款项目来“发展”它们的经济。但即使是肤浅的分析也表明,世界银行是帮助(即补贴)来自工业化国家的大型跨国公司在第三世界扩大其工业、商业和金融活动的完美机制,而这是以第三世界国家,尤其是以农村和城市无产阶级为代价的。本文讨论了谢丽尔·佩耶最近的著作《世界银行:批判性分析》,她在书中分析了世界银行在第三世界的作用,并阐述了贫困、饥饿、营养不良、失业以及与之相关的所有不良社会现象不断增加的主要原因。
