Is The World Bank Actually an Evil Empire? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 The world bank and the International Monetary Fund are two international organizations that receive a fair bit of criticism for being overly powerful empires used by the wealthy and influential to squash poor and developing nations. And as we will explore a lot of this criticism isn’t entirely unfair either. But part of the problem stems from the average individual not knowing what the world bank is and what they do, which means at best they only hear about the issues that make headlines, or at worst they don’t hear anything about it and go grr, banks are bad, so a bank for the entire world must be the biggest baddest bank of all. And as we have said, they might not be wrong, but before we get the pitchforks out it’s time to learn how money works, and thoroughly investigate what these institutions do, what they are supposed to do, and why everybody seams to be angry at them all the time. Ok so they world bank and the international monetary fund are often confused for one another, and in fairness they are similar in a lot of ways. Both of them were started as financial arms of the United nations in the mid 1940’s as a response to the financial factors the led to world war 2. They are also both something that most people won’t have anything to with in their day to day lives, unless they were to become a very senior politician or bureaucrat. But here is the general breakdown. #WorldBank #IMF #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
