2:47 pm
from the outside which is which we're seeing with the i.m.f. and the world bank and all these. international financial advisors and experts is that because they're not really interested in the country itself surviving or being tenable all in all their interest is in extracting as much well thought of it as possible this is how they do it one of my jobs as an economic hitman was to identify countries with resources like oil and arrange huge loans to benefit a few very wealthy families the people would be left holding this huge debt they couldn't repay the i.m.f. comes in we'll help you restructure your loan but you have to sell your companies resource. most of the world's nations have been caught in the form of mexico's triple stripping loan is this a killer trap promises of more investment first the flood gates were open to wall street speculators in just twenty days goldman sachs and co suddenly and mysteriously disappeared over full billion dollars from the country the previously

commerce within a country leaving no games just huge disruption to communities the author of that report joins us talk to call this thing us what did you find. i found that in fact international trade benefited only a tiny group of the super rich globalization's been great for them not for the world the rest of us pay twice first for more imports then high interest on the loans to for them. the federal reserve is not actually federal it's a private corporation owned by a consortium of wall street banks they pay the feds economists like ben bernanke you to come up with the hold watch that gets people to troy the tequila trip but i think you claim to globalization opening up to international space kill it as boosts the nation's g.d.p. an impressive ten percent then someone actually looked at these figures the benefits are actually just north point one percent and that's only off the eight years of oil deal trade conditions that exist just in theory such as the total

2:51 pm
just not much you can criticize what they've done for example they actually have nationalized the oil and they're using that those oil revenues stay used to bank back their central bank so they're actually backing development with their own oil company i mean imagine if they would allow the u.s. government to actually go into business if different starts to government might actually have some money and they tell the argentinians that it would be a disaster where they twelve. ecuadorians it and that. in iceland they tried to scare them into going with the program and they they defied they defy the big banks and it worked out much better for them than for the countries that are gonna lie i mean let's increase it doesn't help them at all to go to the greek tragedies coming to america wall street gave more than anyone else to a blow most reelection campaign he's no great to bring all certainty to the u.s.
