According to some, the IMF is bad for the poor, women, economic stability, and the environment. Joseph Stiglitz, whose influence is amplified by his Nobel Prize, blames the IMF for causing and then worsening the economic crises it was called on to resolve.
美国剑桥—在许多地方，国际货币基金组织（IMF）是一个人见人恨的组织。按照这些人的说法，IMF 对穷人、妇女、经济稳定和环境不利。因获得诺贝尔奖而拥有巨大影响力的约瑟夫·斯蒂格利茨（Joseph Stiglitz）指责IMF引起并恶化了人们求它解决的经济危机。据说IMF这样做是为了拯救资本家和银行家，而不是普通群众。尽管这并非事实，但这一观点确实给IMF造成了极大的伤害，也制约了IMF做好事的能力。
