Organized by: New Rules for Global Finance
“Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the mid-1970s the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, have helped the world avoid the horrors of a systemic collapse. However, […] they are failing in their mandate to reduce poverty, promote and maintain high levels of employment and real income, a stable international monetary system, and shorten the duration and lessen the degree of payments disequilibria. Unfortunately, they are failing us at a time when we badly need them to be functioning effectively. The increasingly integrated global financial system, with its apparently endemic volatility and uncertainties and unbalanced allocation of resources desperately needs some form of effective global governance.”
--Daniel Bradlow
