The
recent international Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank summit in Prague
has got people thinking about how global business works -- and maybe it's
time to learn a little more about it. At www.worldbank.org
you can find information about World Bank's 16 billion-dollar annual development
budget, while www.whirledbank.org
provides a more irreverent view of the global finance system's impact
on the developing world.
Over at www.imf.org you can track how
the IMF promotes international monetary cooperation and provides financial
assistance in developing countries. Meanwhile, a site called www.jubilee2000.org
invites us all to think of new ways to solve third world debt.
For an independent media view on global capitalism and the Prague protests,
look at www.praha.indymedia.org
where you will find stories that daily newspapers probably didn't cover.
But if you want the words of the protestors themselves, go to their official
site at www.inpeg.org.
