The World Bank makes loans and guarantees credit to member countries while the IMF supplies mon ey to help countries overcome short term financial difficulties, according to the Global Exchange Web site. Galbraith said the World Bank’s in formation does not reveal the same global inequality rankings compared to his information, which he said is a more accurate portrayal of the global economy’s current state. Galbraith said economists too often rely on the erroneous assumption that countries choose their own develop ment paths and have a say in the evo lution of their equality, something he said is “fundamentally misleading.” He said an examination of the rise and fall of equality around the world when using quality data reveals an obvious correlation between world events and the state of the global economy. “There are waves of events which affect regimes,” Galbraith said. “This isn’t rocket science.” Galbraith pointed to the fact that there is “no stabilizing anchor” in the international system as being a “pre dominant, compelling iactor in the in crease of inequality around the globe. Galbraith said countries in need of financial assistance are being forced to fight for that assistance at the expense of other needy countries, a problem that could be alleviated with the exis tence of a global monetary fund. But Galbraith said accomplishing such a task may not be something the World Bank can do. “I don’t think it can be done by an organization which has been dominat ed by creditors ... as the World Bank is,” Galbraith said, eliciting a round of applause from audience members. During a question and answer ses sion, Galbraith discussed current U.S. foreign policy and criticized Vice Presi dent Dick Cheney for failing to under stand the long-term implications of the United States financing security for the entire world. Galbraith said Cheney seems to be subscribing to the theory that control ling the world’s assets will lead to con trol of the world. He also suggested another possible reason why the Bush administration is trying to control the world’s assets: “The other possibility is they don’t know what they’re doing.” meghanncuniff@ daily emerald, com Holocaust Awareness Week.
