Albright Institute for Global Affairs Symposium on Global Inequality

If you are going on the Field trip Sunday, in addition to the reading from Strayer that is available in my room, please take a look at the following resources that can give you much needed context for the panel discussion we will hear on Sunday. Also, I have created a two page "brief" that generally summaries the content from the Strayer reading.       Albright Institute Brief
Both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are global institutions that arose within a specific historical context (The Bretton Woods Conference - yay NH!) and that embody and proliferate a particular economic philosophy (neoliberalism). These institutions have come under criticism lately for a variety of reasons. Please check out the link below to verse yourself in some of this criticism. Especially check out Joseph Stiglitz.
