Dodoland's Banker

Here is a great book to get a good perspective on one of the two controversial Bretton Wood sisters and on economic development in general. The more so given the billions of rupees which we've been borrowing from it since July 2005 at a time when countries like Brazil and Argentina had paid back their debt in advance and when our government was awash with cash.

The must-read chapter 7, The Cancer of Corruption, will probably lead you to find stunning parallels between how Indonesia was messed up by the World Bank in 1997 and how our country has been screwed up by that institution's ultimate puppet who seem to have forgotten that the voters who sent him to parliament are from independent and sovereign Mauritius.

This masterfully written book which was recommended to me by a World Banker for its even-handedness and which I truly enjoyed is available for less than USD12 from Amazon.com.
