IMF Boss (a WordPressBlog I like)

tracking the fight to head the fund – Linked on our blogs with Alternative Candidate Nominated: Aurélie Trouvé, and with Soutenez la première candidature altermondi aliste à la tête du FMI.

  • imfboss.org gives you up-to-date information, press coverage, insider info, civil society and official reactions to the IMF leadership process.
  • We are calling for an end to the European heads of state’s* stranglehold on the post and for the IMF to stay true to their 2009 commitment to “adopt an open, merit-based and transparent process for the selection of IMF management”.
  • Following in the footsteps of worldbankpresident.org we hope to create a hub for discussion and debate on IMF governance, the selection process and the pros and cons of potential candidates. (about).

The sooner we stop all this mess, the better we will recover …  but then for the sake of ALL humans. There is no other chance to save it. Heidi).
