The Long War

Michel Chossudovsky is a Canadian economist and founder of the website GlobalResearch.ca (Centre for Research on Globalisation). He is a professor of economics at the University of Ottawa, a contributor to the French magazine Le Monde diplomatique and an author.

After working for the United Nations as a consultant and advising several governments in Latin America and Africa, he became renowned for his criticism of neoliberalism and the Washington Consensus. In 1993 Chossudovsky wrote an article in the New York Times saying that Yeltsin's neoliberal reforms and privatization policies in Russia would lead to economic disaster as they indeed did.
