Wall Street, London, and the Bretton Woods institutions like the World
Bank, and the International Monetary Fund claim to support development
and the eradication of poverty around
the world. They also claim to support scientific progress and raising
the global standard of living. However, often they seem to make friends
and allies with very different goals. As Nicaragua proceeds with a huge
construction project that has dynamic global implications, one can see a
certain international pattern repeating itself, with quite dangerous
implications.
