Reforms implemented through debt deflation
SAP's. The list of budgetary and policy changes required by the IMF and World Bank in order for a poor countries to qualify for a loan. This “conditionality” typically includes reducing barriers to trade and capital flows, tax increases, and cuts in government spending. Through SAPs, the IMF and World Bank can force poorer countries to prioritize macroeconomic stability over programs for public well-being. The IMF claims that this is important since countries cannot afford to spend as much money as they were spending. The result has been that governments have greatly cut the amount of money they spend on education, health care and other basic social services. The U.N. estimates that six million children a year die because of policies imposed by the IMF and World Bank - Called for reduced trade barriers, greater openess to forcing investment, eliminate cap controls, lower taxes, reduce government regulation |

Gilded Age
|
|
The relationship between the prices of imports and exports. The trend in this century has been for cheap primary products and expensive manufactured goods, and—with the exception of oil—most raw material prices fell very sharply from the mid-1980s. This has happened because large companies from the rich, industrialized nations can dominate and structure internal markets in a way that is denied to small, unorganized Third World commodity producers. This change has acted adversely on developing countries; for example, African terms of trade deteriorated by over 30% between 1980 and 1989. It has led to policies of industrialization, aimed at import substitution, in the Third World, and to attempts to reduce production in order to increase prices
