Some scholar criticize the IMF for imposing harsh terms in its conditionality agreements with poor countries. Others applaud them for requiring reforms before giving any funds. If you were a world leader negotiating with the IMF, what would you be willing to concede? What would you resist? There is a great film on this regarding the effect of the IMF conditionality on the economy of Jamaica. The film is called Life and Debt. I highly recommend seeing it to understand the situation more clearly.
