As I said in another comment, the IMF and world bank were created after ww2 when european colonial powers decided to "band together" rather than fight each other. The IMF and World Bank are neocolonial institutions. The brits, dutch, french, etc decided to pool their resources together to exploit the world rather than fighting each other to exploit the world. It's just colonization 2.0. Instead of invading nations, they destabilize them via economic warfare and then "buy/exploit" these nations. It's far more cost effective and effective.
