Marcelo Resende and Maria Luisa Mendonça
February 13, 2006 - The World Bank is celebrating 60 years. Meanwhile, social movements worldwide organize demonstrations against the impact of the policies and ideology of this institution.

The World Bank influences the development strategies and the economic policies of Southern countries by making them compromise their budgets with projects that benefit large corporations. Under the pretense of “economical assistance”, the World Bank programs have a great impact on the external debt because they establish a counterpart for the governments.
