The World Bank and IMF are in Crisis: It’s Time to Push a Radical New Vision The article by David Adler and Yanis Varoufakis was published to indicate the necessity for changes at the mission of the World Bank and the IMF. The publication came at the time when Jim Yong had stepped down as the president of the World Bank three and a half years before completion of his contract. Both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are the two remaining institutions of the Bretton Woods System that had been established in 1944 after an agreement among the United States, Canada, Western European countries, Japan, and Australia. The system that relied heavily on a fixed exchange rate regime had led to the effectiveness of the capitalist system in the 1950s and 1960s. The system led global finance along ‘Atlanticist’ lines whereby the European countries chose the managing director of the IMF while the U.S. selected the head of the World Bank. The exit of Jim Yong presents the organizations an opportunity to establish a new vision.…

The ordinary forms of white-collar offences include but are not limited to money laundering, embezzlement along with fraud. Many of the white-collar offences are usually cumbersome to litigate since the criminals habitually use complex means to hide their practices by a number of deals.

Ricardo Darin`s Movie The year 2001 was a tough year for most Argentinians as the country experienced a massive financial depression that leftover seventy percent of the population reeling in deep poverty. The crisis also saw great trepidation that occur in November that year, which caused a majority of individuals to empty their bank accounts at the same rate they filled them. Such actions saw the Argentinian government freeze all bank accounts in the country to help mitigate the bank panic that had gripped the country. However, it took eighteen years for Argentine filmmaker Sebastian Borensztein to adopt the crisis story and turn it into a captivating and crowd-pleasing comedy called ‘Heroic Losers.’ The film finds humor in Argentina`s synonymous financial crises, which was characterized by massive misery and fear. In Latin America, there are many incredible stories and film ‘Heroic Losers’ brilliantly tells the story of how individuals struggle to make their dreams come true.

Outline details One student asked about the details for the outline, and I thought some others might have similar questions. So I am answering here: Your outline should show how you plan to develop your paper. “For full credit, I am looking for specificity of research (1), research question and importance of research question (1), backgrounds (1), and methods for moving forward to pursue the question (1).” I say “specificity” because sometimes I receive assignments that have the vaguest of short phrases in the outline subtopics and details. Background means providing contexts for the topic and question – historical, political, philosophical. Methods – in your case, your research will be based on literature and documents you find to provide details that address your question. I have attached a sample outline to this announcement (the formatting isn’t perfect – the auto-formatting was just not working for me! I care less about that than being able to see that you are working from a logical course of reasoning with specific details)     SAMPLE :     Your outline should show how…
