After the second world war, there were institutions like the i m f and the predecessor to the rorald bank. The postward period is a boom for capitalism on some measures, but an era of crisis for colonialism. This political system that got built at breton woods has to struggle to contain a wave of revolutions throughout the world. It led tonew push for economic policies to be run through these breton woods institutions. And that leads to something that daniel is written about, which is the washington consensus around good economic policies.
Olúfẹmi Táíwò guest hosts an interview with Daniela Gabor and Ndongo Samba Sylla on how financial power has shaped the global economic order from colonialism through Bretton Woods, the Washington Consensus, and today's Wall Street Consensus.
