de Oliveira, F. C. (2022). The IMF as a ‘mantle of multilateral anonymity’: US-IMF-Brazil relations, 1956–9. Cold War History, 23(1), 1–21. https://doi.org/10.1080/14682745.2022.2078312

“Oliveira’s piece competently scrutinizes the myopic persistence of US authorities in handling emerging Latin American problems and demands for public funds with the old mantra of market-led economic growth. As such, in addition to being a richly researched and well-argued analysis of central developmental dynamics that helped shape the mid-twentieth century in Latin America, Oliveira’s piece may also shed light on today’s crisis of liberal democracy and the continued search for market-based (neoliberal) reforms as allegedly viable answers to much deeper and structural socio-economic, political and geopolitical challenges.”
