@jonna...Quite an interesting movie..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

Quote:
n 1956, the World Bank created the International Finance Corporation and in 1960 it created the International Development Association (IDA). Both have been controversial. Critics of the IDA argue that it was designed to head off a broader based system headed by the United Nations, and that the IDA lends without consideration for the effectiveness of the program[citation needed]. Critics also point out that the pressure to keep developing economies "open" has led to their having difficulties obtaining funds through ordinary channels, and a continual cycle of asset buy up by foreign investors and capital flight by locals[citation needed]. Defenders of the IDA pointed to its ability to make large loans for agricultural programs which aided the "Green Revolution" of the 1960s, and its functioning to stabilize and occasionally subsidize Third World governments, particularly in Latin America[citation needed].
Bretton Woods, then, created a system of triangular trade: the United States would use the convertible financial system to trade at a tremendous profit with developing nations, expanding industry and acquiring raw materials. It would use this surplus to send dollars to Europe, which would then be used to rebuild their economies, and make the United States the market for their products. This would allow the other industrialized nations to purchase products from the Third World, which reinforced the American role as the guarantor of stability. When this triangle became destabilized, Bretton Woods entered a period of crisis that ultimately led to its collapse.

A very important statement said by the Jamaican teacher "As your debt keeps on growing your capacity to export is also diminishing.Your currency also continues to lose value versus the international currencies".
Does that depict a situation Kenya is finding itself into.
Our gap between exports and imports has widened and is now more than a trillion kenya shillings.
Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle
