Green Left Weekly provides news, information, opinion and debate from an
environmental and left perspective.

Featured this week: WHY THE IMF/WORLD BANK MUST BE SHUT DOWN

The IMF and World Bank are central to the efforts of the world's most
powerful corporations and nation states to extract even more private
profits from the world's working people and the environment. These
institutions cannot be fundamentally reformed -- they must be abolished.

     We're taking a break

     Green Left Weekly is taking a break next week. The next issue
     will be dated May 3.
