Unmasking 80 years of power, profit, and people’s resistance.

For 80 years, the World Bank and IMF have fueled displacement, inequality, fossil dependence, and authoritarian regimes—while claiming to fight poverty. The Balance Sheet exposes their legacy and sinister designs, and celebrates global resistance by adivasis, women, and marginalised communities who dared to challenge their exploitative development model.
