What if the world’s financial system isn’t reducing poverty—but reinforcing it?For more than seventy-five years, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have shaped the economic future of developing nations. Their mission has been to promote stability, growth, and prosperity. But what if their policies have also contributed to cycles of debt, dependency, and financial repression?In Hidden Repression, human rights advocate Alex Gladstein examines the history, incentives, and unintended consequences of the global financial system, revealing how international lending, monetary policy, and debt have affected billions of people around the world.Drawing on economics, history, and real-world case studies, Gladstein explores how financial systems influence freedom, opportunity, and national sovereignty—and why the structure of money itself deserves greater scrutiny.Inside, you’ll discover:• How the IMF and World Bank came to shape the global economy• Why sovereign debt can create long-term economic dependence• The lasting impact of structural adjustment policies• How inflation and monetary policy affect the world’s poorest populations• The connection between money, political power, and human rights• How decentralized monetary networks such as Bitcoin may provide new paths toward financial sovereigntyAs Chief Strategy Officer of the Human Rights Foundation, Gladstein brings years of firsthand experience working with activists and communities affected by financial repression. His analysis connects global economic policy with the everyday realities faced by people living under unstable monetary systems.Written in a clear and engaging style, Hidden Repression challenges conventional assumptions about international finance while encouraging readers to think critically about the institutions that shape the modern economy.Praised by leading economists, entrepreneurs, and human rights advocates—including Jeff Booth, Farida Nabourema, and Saifedean Ammous—this timely work offers a fresh perspective on one of the defining economic questions of our time.Whether you’re interested in economics, international development, public policy, human rights, or the future of money, Hidden Repression provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to the forces influencing global prosperity.Start reading today and discover the hidden structures shaping the world’s financial system.
