Even though it was valuable for me to learn what is really going on, I read this book with a mixture of revulsion and horror. And more information keeps showing up - only recently, "New Scientist" (23 July 2008) carried an article stating that, for each year of a country's involvement with the IMF, the TB death rate increased by four per cent on average. This was not because countries with worsening TB attract more IMF attention since the TB rates had been falling, or at least steady, before receiving IMF "help".
