In this transcript, the LSE’s Robert Wade discusses ongoing experiments in international economic regimes, why international financial institutions don’t fight economic crises, and the power and peril of working inside the World Bank (WB). Wade further shares his thoughts on 1) how and why the precepts of neoliberalism have penetrated into every nook and cranny of Western societies and even many non-Western ones; 2) the relationship between economics, inequality and international relations; 3) the dominant sway US foreign policy has over the structures and functions of the WB and IMF, and much more.
