How the World Bank abandoned the poor


HOW THE WORLD BANK ABANDONED ITS MISSION TO HELP THE POOR "Over the last decade, projects funded by the World Bank have physically or economically displaced an estimated 3.4 million people, forcing them from their homes, taking their land or damaging their livelihoods … The World Bank has regularly failed to live up to its own policies for protecting people harmed by projects it finances."
