IS IMF INTERNATIONAL MONEY FUNNEL?

[demingtw <demingtw@ms17.hinet.net>]

Dear DENizens,

When the system level is international,  as a bystander, I don't know
how to judge.
According to an interview in
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/jul2001/nf20010712_002.htm

Indonesia officers think IMF is playing funnel experiments or shock
therapy in their country.

"...At one point, one-and-a-half years ago there were 140 conditions.
Most  of them have nothing to do with the basics of the IMF...The third
[supposed benefit] is the IMF program helps stabilize the
[currency]. They have done a lousy job on this one. In fact, every time
a  review team came in the last three years, the rupiah dropped because
they  make very high-profile critical statements...."
