Dear andresmialdea,

How do you define liberalism? In the original European meaning of the
term? Or in the (from a European point of view) terribly misguiding
American way? This is, to say the least, essential for the right
understanding of your question.

Best regards,
Scriptor

Hi Scriptor

I am writing an essay about Liberal vs Marxists views of the World
Bank and. I am contrasting opinions through IR books and articles of
the most representative theorists, both approaches( european and
American would be fine), but I think that highlight the terribly
misguiding American way is a good argument to contrast with the
marxists views).

Thanks in advance
