Origins of the debts movements

Arguments used by the debt movements

The debt isue on the official political agenda of the North and the south.

As discussed the department problem is a fascinating moscule of the world politics and poor reltions spiced with greed and mistrust.

It also shows the devastating conseguences of systematic imbalances in the global economy.From the civil society standpoint these consquences have resulted in human suffering and diminished opportunities for those affected by debts
