60 questions, 60 réponses sur la dette, le FMI et la Banque mondiale by Damien Millet,Eric Toussaint Pdf

Depuis la crise de la dette qui a éclaté en 1982, malgré leurs innombrables richesses naturelles et humaines, les pays du tiers-monde sont saignés à blanc. Le remboursement d'une dette devenue colossale prive leurs populations de la satisfaction des besoins les plus élémentaires. La dette est devenue un mécanisme très subtil de domination et le moyen d'une nouvelle colonisation. La dernière initiative d'allégement de la dette, lancée en fanfare par le G8 en 2005, ne change pas la donne. Une approche radicalement différente doit être envisagée : l'annulation pure et simple de cette dette, illégitime et largement odieuse. Ce livre répond à différentes objections. Une fois libérés de leur dette extérieure, les pays ne risquent-ils pas de retomber dans le piège d'un endettement insoutenable ? Les régimes dictatoriaux et corrompus ne vont-ils pas profiter d'une annulation de la dette ? Les contribuables des pays du Nord ne vont-ils pas faire les frais d'une annulation ? Chine, Amérique latine, fonds souverains, fonds vautours, quel rôle pour ces nouveaux acteurs de premier plan ? Le remplacement de la dette publique externe par la dette publique interne constitue-t-il une solution ? Quels liens entre la dette et la crise alimentaire mondiale qui a commencé en 2007-2008 ? Les auteurs montrent que l'annulation de la dette, condition nécessaire mais non suffisante, doit être accompagnée d'autres mesures. Ils posent aussi la question : qui doit à qui ? Ils soutiennent la demande de réparations. Illustré de graphiques et de tableaux, cet ouvrage montre clairement la responsabilité des promoteurs du néolibéralisme, des institutions financières internationales, des pays industrialisés mais aussi la complicité des dirigeants du Sud. Six ans après la parution du livre " 50 questions 50 réponses sur la dette, le FMI et la Banque mondiale " qui a été traduit en huit langues (anglais, arabe, coréen, espagnol, italien, japonais, portugais et turc), Damien Millet et Eric Toussaint sortent cette version actualisée et complétée qui décrypte le discours officiel sur la dette et envisage les scénarios possibles pour sortir de l'impasse. Ils exposent les différents arguments moraux, politiques, économiques, juridiques, écologiques sur lesquels repose la revendication d'une annulation de la dette publique.

50 questions, 50 réponses sur la dette, le FMI et la Banque mondiale by Eric Toussaint,Damien Millet Pdf

La dette est devenue un mécanisme très subtil de domination et le moyen d'une nouvelle colonisation, empêchant tout développement humain durable au Sud. Les politiques appliquées par les gouvernements endettés sont plus souvent décidées par les créanciers que par les autorités des pays concernés. L'initiative d'allégement de dette, lancée en fanfare par le G7, le FMI et la Banque mondiale, sous la pression de la plus grande pétition de l'Histoire (24 millions de signatures recueillies entre 1998 et 2000), a montré ses limites. Une approche radicalement différente doit être envisagée : l'annulation de cette dette immorale et souvent odieuse. Les auteurs répondent à différentes objections. Une fois libérés de leur dette extérieure, les pays ne risquent-ils pas de retomber dans le piège d'un endettement insoutenable ? Les régimes dictatoriaux et corrompus ne vont-ils pas bénéficier d'un second souffle grâce à l'annulation de la dette ? Les contribuables des pays du Nord ne vont-ils pas faire les frais d'une annulation ? Les auteurs montrent que l'annulation de la dette, condition nécessaire mais insuffisante, doit être accompagnée d'autres mesures, telles la récupération des " biens mal acquis " et leur rétrocession aux populations qui ont été spoliées. Ils proposent des voies alternatives financement, tant sur le plan local qu'international. Ils posent aussi la question : qui doit à qui ? Ils soutiennent la demande de réparations avancée par les mouvements sociaux du Sud. En cinquante questions/réponses, cet ouvrage explique d'une manière simple et précise comment et pourquoi on en est arrivé à l'impasse de la dette. Illustré de graphiques, de cartes géographiques et de tableaux, ce livre détaille les rôles des différents acteurs, l'engrenage dans lequel sont pris les pays endettés, les scénarios possibles pour sortir de l'impasse, les alternatives à l'endettement... Il expose les différents arguments moraux, politiques, économiques, juridiques, écologiques sur lesquels repose l'annulation de la dette extérieure publique des pays en développement.

Public Sector Debt Statistics by International Monetary Fund Pdf

The global financial crisis of recent years and the associated large fiscal deficits and debt levels that have impacted many countries underscores the importance of reliable and timely government statistics and, more broadly, public sector debt as a critical element in countries fiscal and external sustainability. Public Sector Debt Statistics is the first international guide of its kind, and its primary objectives are to improve the quality and timeliness of key debt statistics and promote a convergence of recording practices to foster international comparability and as a reference for national compilers and users for compiling and disseminating these data. Like other statistical guides published by the IMF, this one was prepared in consultation with countries and international agencies, including the nine organizations of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS). The guide's preparation was based on the broad range of experience of our institutions and benefitted from consultation with national compilers of government finance and public sector debt statistics. The guide's concepts are harmonized with those of the System of National Accounts (2008) and the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition.

Bankocracy by Eric Toussaint Pdf

Governments of the most industrialised countries have dramatically increased their public debt to bail out the private banks after the most disastrous economic and financial meltdown in capitalist history since the 1930s. Paying debts and reducing fiscal deficits have become the perfect pretexts to enforce austerity measures everywhere. The Troika (European Commission, ECB and IMF) and all EU governments have launched an unprecedented attack on people's social and economic rights. This book will enable the reader to understand how the crisis developed: the consequences of deregulating the banking system, the logic underpinning private banks' responses, and the crimes they perpetrate on a daily basis with the collusion of governments and central banks. It argues for socialisation, rather than 'nationalisation', of the banking sector so that it becomes a proper public service under citizen control and monitoring. It argues for the cancellation of illegitimate public debt that largely results from bank bail-outs. It uses simple straightforward language to make it possible for anyone to understand the current crisis and see coherent alternatives to the current policies.

China Safari by Serge Michel,Michel Beuret Pdf

China has now taken Great Britain's place as Africa's third largest business partner. Where others only see chaos, the Chinese see opportunities. With no colonial past and no political preconditions, China is bringing investment and needed infrastructure to a continent that has been largely ignored by Western companies or nations. Traveling from Beijing to Khartoum, Algiers to Brazzaville, the authors tell the story of China's economic ventures in Africa. What they find is tantamount to a geopolitical earthquake: The possibility that China will help Africa direct its own fate and finally bring light to the so-called “dark continent,” making it a force to be reckoned with internationally.

Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank by Eric Toussaint,Damien Millet Pdf

Mainstream economists tell us that developing countries will replicate the economic achievements of the rich countries if they implement the correct “free-market”policies. But scholars and activists Toussaint and Millet demonstrate that this is patently false. Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence, they explain how developed economies have systematically and deliberately exploited the less-developed economies by forcing them into unequal trade and political relationships. Integral to this arrangement are the international economic institutions ostensibly created to safeguard the stability of the global economy—the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank—and the imposition of massive foreign debt on poor countries. The authors explain in simple language, and ample use of graphics, the multiple contours of this exploitative system, its history, and how it continues to function in the present day. Ultimately, Toussaint and Millet advocate cancellation of all foreign debt for developing countries and provide arguments from a number of perspectives—legal, economic, moral. Presented in an accessible and easily-referenced question and answer format, Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank is an essential tool for the global justice movement.

The Global Crisis in Foreign Aid by Richard Grant,Jan Nijman Pdf

The internal destabilization of many poor countries that accompanied the end of the Cold War and the general failure of structural adjustment programs have changed the nature and allotment of foreign aid around the world. Major donors of foreign aid such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have been shifting their geographical priorities in allocating aid, as well as their project emphasis, since the end of the Cold War. In addition, multilateral aid agencies—the World Bank, the United Nations, and the Interna­tional Monetary Fund—are attempting to redress past failures of aid and revamp policies and priorities. Moreover, aid recipients in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and Central America are establishing priorities of their own and evaluating the success and failure of past aid programs. This volume stands out in the literature on foreign aid because it includes contributions from eight policy representatives from a range of important donor and recipient countries—the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Bolivia, Egypt, Bangladesh, El Salvador, and Poland. Timely in its assessment of the crisis and the transition in the foreign aid regime, the book pro­vides a view from inside the policy process and im­parts a researcher's perspective on the changing pri­orities for donors and recipients. The wide-ranging essay—most previously unpublished—aim to shed light on the changing political, economic, and regional geographies of aid at the end of the twentieth century.

Assisting Russia's Transition by Gianni Zanini Pdf

This evaluation assesses the development effectiveness of the World Bank's lending and non-lending assistance to the Russian Federation since 1991, a 10-year period of tumultuous political, economic, and social change. This report concludes that an assistance strategy, concentrating on analytical and advisory services with limited financial support for Russia, would have been more appropriate than one involving large volumes of adjustment lending.
