On the IMF, Civil Society, and South-South Cooperation in Zambia & Sri Lanka w/ Grieve Chelwa
<p>I'm joined by Zambian Economist <a href="https://twitter.com/gchelwa?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Grieve Chelwa</a> for a wide-ranging discussion on the IMF's one-size fits all approach to countries, and the complicity of so-called civil society in furthering the agenda of Western-dominated multilateral institutions.
