Editing World Bank

The '''World Bank''' is thought by many people to be the single most destructive institution on Earth (the [[WTO]], [[IMF]], [[BIS]], [[UN Security Council]], [[currency markets]], [[commodity markets]], [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?CarCulture car culture], [[television]] and [[Internet]] being competing [[bad thing]]s that many think are worse).

It is the de facto [[public investment bank]] for the entire planet, just as the [[BIS]] and [[IMF]] operate as a sort of de facto [[central bank]], which between them set the policies (based on [[GDP]]) that do maximum damage to life while causing maximum circulation of money.

The World Bank approves and funds extremely destructive projects in [[China]] and [[Congo]] and [[Brazil]], which expand roads that lead to [[deforestation]] and [[extinction]]. The damage done by these projects is incredible, astonishing even, reducing [[nature's services]] to all people.  For those people killed, of course, the services provided are now near zero (some space for the body or [[atmospheric CO2 absorption capacity]] for the ashes) and maybe funerals and lawyers to process wills increase [[GDP]] - all the '''Bank''' cares about.

A fairly large number of people believes that the '''Bank'''ers are guilty of more than one [[crime against humanity]], and should simply all be put on trial.  ''See [[w:anti-globalization movement]] for more on its opposition.''

Former economists at the Bank have sometimes left their jobs to take part in protests against it, [[Joseph Stiglitz]] being the most obvious example.
