Global debt as war against the poor / Susan George ; produced by Bob DeBolt.
Susan George, Associate Director of the Trans-National Institute and author of How the Other Hand Dies, and A Fate worse than Debt, speaks about the economic war between the United States and Third World nations. She examines the causes of the debt crisis, and its effect on the poor in Third World countries. The causes are: military spending, capital flight, huge development projects (damns and nuclear power plants) and luxury imports. She ends by pointing out how the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank austerity measures most effect the poor, but that a solution is available.|GLOBAL DEBT AS WAR AGAINST THE POOR / Susan George| produced by Bob DeBolt. - Susan George, Associate Director of the Transnational Institute and author of "How the Other Half Dies," and "A Fate Worse than Debt," speaks about the economic war between the United States and Third World nations.
