What have IMF austerity policies wrought?

What have been the consequences of the IMF's structural adjustment policies on the world economy? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the International Monetary Fund. The IMF, with 184 member countries, was established in 1944. What was the IMF's original mandate? And what has it evolved into? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How is the IMF governed? And how does it operate? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
