ce jour<\/a>, un paragraphe nous a paru assez int\u00e9ressant pour que nous l’extrayons et en fassions une pr\u00e9sentation \u00e0 part. Le voici:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIn late April, economist Mark Weisbrot noted that, with so many countries breaking free of its grasp, the IMF, which once dictated economic policy to strapped governments around the world, is now but a shadow of its former self. In the past four years, its loan portfolio has plummeted from $105 billion to less than $10 billion, the bulk of which now goes to just two countries, Turkey and Pakistan. This leaves the US Treasury, which used the body to control foreign economies, with far less power than in past decades. The IMF’s loss of influence, Weisbrot writes, is probably the most important change in the international financial system in more than half a century.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCette sorte d’\u00e9v\u00e9nement, souvent pass\u00e9 inaper\u00e7u ou peu mis en \u00e9vidence, constitue effectivement une marque significative de la tr\u00e8s grande tendance \u00e0 l’uvre actuellement, avec la d\u00e9cadence acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e de toutes les structures internationales de puissance des USA. La chose est \u00e9videmment utilis\u00e9e dans le texte de Engler pour nourrir l’argument que la prochaine administration et l’\u00e9lite \u00e9conomico-financi\u00e8re US auront beaucoup de mal pour restaurer un syst\u00e8me h\u00e9g\u00e9monique revenant \u00e0 l’influence plut\u00f4t que la contrainte de la force essay\u00e9 avec si peu de succ\u00e8s, notamment pendant les 5 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Le syst\u00e8me mis en place en 1945-50 et qui connut son apog\u00e9e dans les ann\u00e9es 1990 (toute la puissance des USA durant la Guerre froide, sans l’adversaire sovi\u00e9tique), s’appuyait n\u00e9cessairement sur cette structure financi\u00e8re internationale (dollar, Banque Mondiale, FMI) pour assurer son influence. La puissance US ressemble de plus en plus \u00e0 une \u00e9norme coquille vide.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
