Stunning
depths of government collaboration with Enron revealed: Institute
for Policy Studies uncovers $7 billion in public assistance
for Enron's global operations
Excerpts
from An Examination of the
World Bank Energy Lending Program These
excerpts are from a 1981 report by the US Treasury's office.
The Treasury is encouraging the World Bank to serve the interests
of oil-dependent countries like the U.S. and develop non-OPEC
sources of oil, following the OPEC oil price hikes of the
1970s. This is the beginning of the "Reagan doctrine",
when the World Bank acted on the requests of its largest shareholder,
the US Government, and began pushing the privatization and
deregulation of the energy and power sectors in developing
countries.
