Reddit reviews Dying For Growth: Global Inequality and the Health of the Poor

I listened to an interview with the World Bank President recently. At one point in the interview, he talks about the so-called 'migration crisis' in Europe as a precursor to the much larger relocations of people that will be necessitated by climate change over the next century. He makes a very similar point to the one Matt made, that this has triggered a cogent reaction among the far-right who are perfectly content with genocide as a policy response. However, where Matt argued the only possible alternative is massive transfers of wealth and reorganization of society, Dr. Kim's only prescription is that there should be much more public-private partnerships in the developing world.

Hearing him say that perfectly clarified the limits of liberalism for the coming century as well as anything I'd ever read.

Ironically, Dr. Kim once wrote a very good book about the failures of the World Bank and the IMF and calling for them to be abolished. Now, he's reduced himself to working with Ivanka Trump on a "women's entrepreneurship program" to advance women's rights around the world .... funded by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
