Foreign 'Aid'?
... four billion from the
International Monetary Fund. This amounts to almost half of all the foreign
aid received by Zaire between 1970 and 1994. Amazingly, the IMF was well
aware of the expropriation of its funds, yet continued to lend Zaire money.
Why, we don't know. Mobutu used most of this money to buy lavish estates in
France and to establish huge secret bank accounts in Switzerland,
Luxembourg and elsewhere. He also kept himself in power through bribes and

Monopolization And Its Implication On A World Scale
... continues, the process unravelling before our eyes today, this disaster, is not a recent occurrence. Some economists and political analysts have dated its"birth" to the start of the Russo-Japanese war and the industrialization of the African colonies (imperialism).
This being the case, though imperialism is primarily considered a political phenomenon by bourgeoises economists, socialists have cooked deeper into the matter and "unveiled" the economic character of imperialism and it's apparent contradictions (this will be dealt with later, as well as an overview of the historic contradictions, economic intricacies and ethical realities of imperialism.

the wealthy people. The basic reason for the modified market economy is that
the free market does not produce an efficient allocation of resources, and that
the free market does not distribute output in a socially desirable way. For
example in a modified market, the government regulate the flow a income a bit so

which is present in a modified market, makes society more evenly spread rather
than everyone being one of ...
