Information
as to the top down influence of international institutions upon our
tertiary curriculum and the serious implications if the ideologies
those institutes promote are flawed, i.e. Global Credit Crisis, I
will supply my usual supporting evidence from the mouths of the major
players:
The
below linked statement from RBNZ made Victoria University’s School
of Economics and Finance the focal point for higher learning of NZ
and many foreign students. Its curriculum has very much been
unfettered free market laissez-faire monetarist economics overseen by
external advisors from IMF etc or IMF etc foreign trained Kiwi's:

Then just go and investigate most every staff member of VIC, you will soon get the feeling that we have replaced the London and Chicago Schools of Economics as the training ground for the modern banking system drones:

Prior to this, she worked with Challenge Bank in Perth, specialising in financial risk management and corporate planning, including structured tax deals.

Then if you wish to learn, from the most credible senior inside sources, the questionable intentions of the international institutes BIS, IMF, Worldbank etc, read these from former recent Chief Economists of IMF, Worldbank, who after failing in attempting to reform those institutions from within are now telling all of their disgusting activities:
Former IMF Cheif Economist Simon Johnson;
"The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, (2007-8) is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time."

The Hospital that makes you Sicker
Joseph Stiglitz won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001. He was Chief Economist of the World Bank between 1997 and 2000. So when he says that the IMF are ‘free-market fundamentalists’ working in the interests of Wall Street, the world ought to sit up and listen. The NI interviewed him in London.
