The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.

Ten or 15 years ago the IMF and the World Bank were out there making little loans here and there, but they weren't out saving the world, ... They've been unfairly criticized of doing a bad job.

The World Bank can only survive if it's spending money.

The World Bank is now the biggest culprit in the debt crisis.

Paul Krugman, a professor at MIT and a consultant to the IMF, the World Bank, the United Nations, and the Trilateral Commission, is certainly a member of the establishment.
