Unholy Trinity: The IMF, World Bank and WTO

This book is dense. It is no light reading, and it is no half-baked criticism. That's not to say, however, that it's not accessible. I found myself burning through it - which says a lot about a book on global finances.It's unbiased: I know that sounds strange when the book is entitled "Unholy Trinity", but read it and you will see what I mean. Building off legitimate analysis using the techniques of Foucault and other great contemporary philosophers, this book illuminates the historical and subliminal facts, and that makes a purely sound logical conclusion: the IMF, Wold Bank, and WTO are instruments of imperialism, plain and simple.This book taught me so much. It split my world view wide open and kept me awake at night. Its knowledge is priceless. I only have to wonder why more books aren't written on this topic, in this vein.

as expected

I Agree 100% with the previous reader. I have been reading this book in Greek, and have so far been impressed with how well the professor explains all the topics covered in this book. To sum it up, these organizations (The IMF, World Bank and WTO) are a tool of the International Banking Cartel with a Neocon agenda.

This book says "Continuing exclusion from material benefits is the main experiential base projecting residual resentments into emergent alternatives as fully fledged counter-hegemonies."Lucid economics book would say, 'Those who do not benefit proportionally from their work within an economic system grow to resent that system and begin formulating new ideas that challenge the status quo.'If you enjoy reading a thesaurus mixed with a bit of Shakespeare mixed with a bit of economics you'll love this book. I unfortunately don't but am very interested in this topic so I will continue to reread every other sentence and translate and work hard looking for the good bits.

Sums up why economic globalism is a menace for the average man, and why economic nationalism is the answer.

Good read

All all right!

This book provides a very comprehensive overview and critique of the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. In particular, it criticizes the neoliberal philosophies that permeate these organizations.Being comprehensive, it provides a thorough understanding of the three organizations. But, being comprehensive, it is sometimes rather boring. It also could have used a better editor.
