3 h. ago Britain is now following a developing country economic model – and we know where that leads | Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah

Selling off assets to foreign owners, deregulating markets, and liberalising financial services only leads to inequality and instabilityIn 1994, I joined a march protesting against how the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund – backed by the US – were forcing governments in the global south to follow what was called the “Washington consensus”.We argued that privatising state assets, deregulating markets, and liberalising financial services to attract external investment was leaving countries more unstable, more unequal and more dependent on foreign actors.
