| Summary: | Affiche uitgegeven na 1991 door de Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) India voor een campagne tegen de Wereldbank en het Internationaal Monetair Fonds (IMF).
Afbeelding: tekening van een armoedig geklede Rus en een Indiër die les krijgen van een man van het IMF.
Tekst: Just Say What You Mean.... NOW LETS’ SEE WHICH ONE OF YOU IS BRIGHTER! DEFINE THE FOLLOWING: • FREE MARKET • PRIVATISATION • DEREGULATION • DELICENSING • SUBSIDY CUTS • DEVALUATION • LIBERALISATION • NGO • AUSTERITY • REDEPLOYMENT.
* AUSTERITY: What poor people get (‘for their own good’) from structural adjustment programme designed by the World Bank and the IMF staff over subsidised lunches.
* MARKET FRIENDLY: Measures taken to make Third World Markets ‘friendly’ to First World traders and investors but not vice versa.
* REDEPLOYMENT: The transfer of workers from one activity to no activity.
* REINSERTION: The process of welcoming a country back to the international financial community so it can be penetrated and then screwed again.
* LABOUR MARKET RIGIDITIES: What minimum wage levels are called just before they are lowered.
* STABILISATION: What IMF doctors do to countries desperate for money so that the World Bank surgeons can adjust their internal organs. Those patients seeking a second opinion are placed on a starvation diet until they come to their senses.
* TRADE LIBERALISATION: Sounds good, but it’s part of the recolonisation process underway in the South. Used to be that this consisted mainly of opening one country to more (cheap) imports from another through the reduction of tariffs and other trade barriers. Nowadays, no liberalisation process is complete without the deregulation of foreign investment so that investors can better exploit cheap labour and natural resources to produce for markets back home.
* NGO: In World Bank parlance, this is non-governmental organisation that is ‘reasonable’ in its criticism of the World Bank and ready to help clean up the mess left by the Bank and the IMF imposed adjustment programmes and disastrous large-scale projects. Known in French and Spanish as ONG (Only Nice Guys need apply).
