ARTICLE: As Global Wealth Spreads, the IMF Recedes, By Anthony Faiola, Washington Post, May 24, 2008; Page A01
An interesting gauge of Gap shrinkage: the IMF lends $116B in 2003 and $16B in 2007.
A lot of that growth inside the Gap stems from rising New Core demand for commodities, so good luck, I say, trying to demonize countries like Russia and China with these states.
