October 1998

 

Time's IMF Critic

Time.com’s October 7 edition of Time Daily reported on how IMF reforms often harm economies they’re meant to help. Time business reporter Bernard Baumohl is quoted as saying that "the IMF’s tough prescriptions actually pushed some of the Asian countries into depression."

But Time isn’t talking about the tax increases and currency devaluations pushed by the IMF, only the budget cuts. "President Clinton and European leaders on Tuesday urged the IMF to consider the human dimension of fiscal crisis, pressing the international body to pause before automatically demanding fierce budget cuts in borrowing countries," writes Time Daily’s Tony Karon.

For Time, IMF dictates that give government more power can’t be wrong.
