"Far from playing the role of good samaritan, the Fund does not even follow the timeless human tradition, established more than 4,000 years ago by Hammurabi in ancient Babylon, of forgiving interest after natural disasters. In 1985, a devastating earthquake hit Mexico City, killing more than 5,000 people and causing $5 billion of damage. Fund staff — who claim to be saviors, helping to end poverty and save countries in crisis — arrived a few days later, demanding to be repaid." - Alex Gladstein

Listen to Part 3 to find out how.

We are jumping right into the middle of it, so don't forget to listen to Part 1 and 2 if you haven't yet, otherwise this will be confusing, lol:
