Where the World Bank Dishes Out Your Money

Since the U.S. is the largest contributor to the World Bank, it's a part of your tax money that the bank dishes out to the rest of the world.

The bank has been kind enough to create (also partly with your money) a cool interactive graphic showing just exactly where part of your tax dollar is going.

It's all here.

  1. Robert,

    The link provided takes us to an earlier EPJ post.

    I think this might be what you meant to post:
    http://www.aidflows.org/

    If not then I'm sure a keen reader can find it from this link at the WB website:
    http://data.worldbank.org/


    As an aside, looking at the news on the WB homepage, it would seem as if the WB is trying hard to make us think they're doing noble work. I wonder if the staff actually have good hearts but small brains and actually think their employer does good work when in actuality all it does it prop up dictators, weaken public health, devalue currencies and serve as the bureacratic enforcement for economic hitmen???
