not sure why shouldnt be on the list, the IMF discussed and advocated it, and the Bangladeshi gov followed their lead.

the definition of a conspire is to "work together to someone else's detriment", im sure from the perpective of someone who didn't benefit from that economic development they "conspired".

It shouldn’t be on the list because IMF and World Bank policies don’t “discuss and advocate for policies that benefit the extremely wealthy over others.”

I know many liberals want Bangladeshis to remain in a childlike state of nature doing subsistence farming forever, but the fact is that capitalism lifted America and Europe out of poverty and it’s doing the same thing for Bangladesh. Bangladesh and Vietnam are the two countries in the world where the people have the strongest support for capitalism: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alyssaayres/2014/10/28/banglade...
