The IMF gets gloomy-doomy
A slight chance of global recession is in the forecast, and the dreaded phrase "since the Great Depression" pops up again.
Andrew Leonard [2008-04-10]

  • What is the IMF?

    These things confuse me. What is the World Bank? The IMF? Are they the same thing? Note that the Washington based lending institution is closing offices around the world. According to Wikipedia they manage the international payment system. The governor is Henry Paulson, alternate governor Bernanke. The US holds 17% of the voting power, no one else has more than 6%.

    There is a whole lot more there, point being who are these guys, just the same old dog faces hiding behind some corporate shell?
