Link TV presents a rebroadcast of a call-in program about the impact of IMF and World Bank policies on poverty in Africa.

This program includes a recent BBC documentary, Profits of Doom, that focuses on the West African country of Ghana, once hailed by the World Bank as a showcase for its policies. Today, after two decades of financial “discipline,” the majority of Ghanaians are worse off than before.

During its originally airing, viewers called in their questions and comments to Robert Liebenthal, Senior Advisor for Africa of The World Bank and Njoki Jehu, Executive Director of 50 Years Is Enough, an organization favoring alternative models of globalization. Other guests were Tony Fratto, Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Treasury Dept., and Thomas Paley, Director of the Globalization Reform Project for the Open Society Institute .
