The last couple of decades have clearly been dominated by a paradigm, one which has extolled the virtues of unbridled markets, privatisation and extreme downsizing of the public sector (state intervention in the economy); this philosophy has widened to international markets - finance and trade - and the IFIs have often championed it.
U poslednjih nekoliko decenija jasno dominira jedan obrazac, koji je veličao vrline neograničenog tržišta, privatizacije i ekstremnog reduciranja javnog sektora (državne intervencije u ekonomiji); ta filozofija proširila se i na svetska tržišta - finansije i trgovinu - i međunarodne institucije često su bile njeni glavni propagatori.
