Ernst Wollf: IWF, Griechenland, Aktivismus und Leitmedien
Ernst Wolff talks about the state of the system:
“This explosion of social inequality is going to go on. As long as
this financial system persists, social inequality will get even bigger.
There is no way out of it and there’s no way out of it by reforms. This
system has reached its final stage and this system will either crash or
it will be dealt away with by the people. It will create revolutions, it
will create big upheavals in all countries all over the world in the
future. I’m very sure of that because the range within which politicians
act has become very, very small and the anger of the people has gotten
very, very strong.”

Ernst Wolff: IMF, Greece, Activism and Mainstream Media
In this video we continue to interview journalist and author Ernst Wolff. Wolff’s latest book is called “Pillaging the World: The History and Politics of the IMF”
which is also available in German and Arabic. This video series aims to
provide context behind the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the
role it has played in world affairs since its formation up until the
current period.
These and other questions will be addressed in this video:
Did the IMF break from its traditional
policies, given that it did not endorse the Troika’s policies in Greece
and even advocated “debt-relief”?
Is there any precedence in history where grassroots movements were able to reverse the policies of the IMF?
What role does the media play in analysing and evaluating the policies of the IMF?
