"The huge foreign debt of developing countries has become a mechanism of domination and means of recolonization that prevents any meaningful and sustainable human development. The policies pursued by the indebted countries' governments have usually been decided by their creditors rather than by the authorities of the countries concerned. As for the initiative to lighten the debt burden, launched with much fanfare by the G7, the IMF and t ..."
"Mainstream economists tell us that developing countries will replicate the economic achievements of the rich countries if they implement the correct "free-market"policies. But scholars and activists Toussaint and Millet demonstrate that this is patently false. Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence, they explain how developed economies have systematically and deliberately exploited the less-developed economies by forcing them into une ..."

"La prétendue "crise de la dette publique" est une crise de la finance privée délibérément mise à la charge des finances publiques par des gouvernements soumis aux marchés financiers."
"Cette dette odieuse, qui a servi à renforcer et enrichir un régime despotique, n'a pas à être remboursée par les populations meurtries par ce même régime."
"La dette est devenue un mécanisme très subtil de domination et le moyen d'une nouvelle colonisation, empêchant tout développement humain durable au Sud."
