You don’t expect fire to feel metallic. That’s what flaring feels like – you feel it as a whine, like metal being rubbed. Turn off the engine, someone said, but it wasn’t on – it was the flame’s vibration shaking the van. Tina talks angrily. Why is this gas being burnt, when it could be used, and people are suffering because of it? Then she’s quiet. It just. Feels wrong. |

Susan George considers the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) to be acting as a de facto World Ministry of Trade and Finance. Together they operate in the interests of the rich nations, often at the expense of poorer nations. She cautions against the current trend to privatize public services such as transport, health, water and other utilities.
