Hello andresmialdea

Here are some Marxist analyses, from diverse groups on the Marxist
spectrum, of the role of the World Bank:

“The International Monetary Fund-World Bank intervention in the early
1980s
contributed to exacerbating the crisis of Somali agriculture.”
“The real causes of Somalia's famine” by by Michel Chossudovsky in 
Australian Marxist Review No. 38 November 1997

Shut Down the IMF and World Bank!   Global Capitalism and the
Socialist Alternative
 By Philip Locker of the Socialist Alternative, the United States
section of the Committee for a Workers' International
http://www.socialistalternative.org/literature/imfwb.html 

Professor Paul Cammack, University of Manchester
http://les.man.ac.uk/government/academic/cammack/profile.html
“Paul’s current project is an analysis of the global capitalist system
from a classical Marxist perspective, with particular emphasis on the
role of international organisations (IMF, World Bank). This has
produced eight related papers, at various stages of publication.”
Including:
“Neoliberalism, the World Bank, and the New Politics of Development”,
in M. Minogue and U. Kothari, eds, Perspectives on Development:
Challenging the Orthodoxies, Palgrave, 2001
http://les.man.ac.uk/government/academic/cammack/Neoliberalism.pdf 
and 
“The Mother of All Governments: The World Bank’s Matrix for Global
Governance”, in S. Hughes and R. Wilkinson, eds, Engaging Global
Governance: towards a new agenda, Routledge, 2001.

Joe Stiglitz's excellent book, Globalization and its discontents, also
provides views on this subject (although mainly on the IMF).
