Summary:	Annotation Do the structural adjustment policies of the World Bank/ IMF make the World's poorest people even poorer? Frances Stewart was one of the first people to start this debate with her book Adjustment with a Human Face. Returning to the subject half a decade latter she critically analyses the extent to which things have changed for the better.
