1 50 Years is Enough: the Case Against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (Kevin Danaher ed., 1994). The institution that was created at Bretton Woods was not known as the World Bank but it was the International Bank for Reconstrution and Development. However, the World Bank group is now composed of 5 different entities, including the IBRD, there are the International Development Association, International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency and the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes. The IFC and MIGA are responsible for private sector investment and as such are accountable to the Office of the ComplianceAdvisor/Ombudsman.Google Scholar
