End Structural Adjustment!

End Structural Adjustment: The economic policies dictated to poor countries by the IMF and the World Bank -- so-called "structural adjustment programs" -- have undermined Third World economies and exacerbated hunger while serving corporate interests. To take one example: Last year's food crisis in Malawi, where as many as several thousand died of hunger, followed IMF-mandated cutbacks in agricultural aid to small farmers and food subsidies for families. A Kucinich administration will demand an end to these policies that sacrifice what remains of the social safety net in poor countries on the alter of "free market" and "privatization" ideology.
