IMF: US tool

[Peter Kilander]

In my opinion, Rudy Dornbusch is up there with Martha Stewart. Both should
end up in the 9th circle of hell. Every time I see a picture of him, I
doodle on horns,  satan mustach and goatee.

I read in the NYT yesterday that Stanley Fischer, 2nd official at I.M.F,
"acknowledged" that the question of how the fund can polish its battered
image has been widely discussed in the fund. "In December, it hired Edelman
Public Relations Worldwide and Wirthlin Worldwide, a polling company, to
recommend how the fund can explain itself around the world. That may be
especially difficult in Asia and Russia, where the higher interest rates
prescribed by the fund are blamed by many for deepening rather than
alleviating their recessions."
