The short answer to the title question is: No. WFB gives some of the background
of this show: "In the 17 years since this program began, the producer has not had the equivalent difficulty in getting somebody representing ... an institution to visit with us for the purpose of explaining that institution's policies and defending them. We must have issued two dozen invitations, to the people whose names come obviously to mind when one thinks of international banking. They were all tied up. Like their banks. I do not mean to suggest that we settled for second-echelon guests. Merely that an unapologetic defense of banking policies is not likely to be heard." As indeed it was not, nor of the International Monetary Fund or World Bank, which had encouraged the banks in their disastrous lending to Third World and Iron Curtain countries. An informative and rather frightening show.
