This is old news, but it's the first that I'm hearing about it.
In 1999, private water companies and the World Bank, convinced South Africa to stop water subsidies in an isolated area. The outcome was disaterous for the people who lived there. They couldn't afford the water so they had to get water out of polluted streams. It caused a cholera epidemic.
How the hell can these free market economists at the World Bank be soooo stupid?
Anyone else know about other dirt on the World Bank?
Are they stupid or just corrupt?
