"progressive" simply because it was opposed by the US government and the IMF. Since the labour movement opposes the IMF and its neoliberal structural adjustment policies, it is assumed that anything the IMF opposes must therefore be good for the labour movement. Of course, this is a based on an over simplistic logic. ... it is clear that the AMF concerns a fight over corporate power and does not seek to limit corporate power.<

so, then, greenfield argues that an alliance is being put together to re-present the Asian Monetary Fund as a progressive and/or trade union initiative.

did the HKCTU endorse opposition to the AMF, or?
