| Summary: | This book explores the role of governments and financial institutions in managing the markets in the developing world.<br> <br> <br> <br> These 'Great Predators' are trapping the populations of the Global South in a permanent cycle of austerity. Through a framework of political economy, Money and Power shows how pseudo-public 'development' institutions retain complete economic control over developing markets, while the international system remains unregulated.<br> <br> <br> <br> Operating in the interests of North America and the European Union, these Great Predators have a political purpose, and yet serve to cloud the brute power relations between states. |
