The World Bank is a collection of international organizations that aids countries in their process of economic development with loans, advice, and research. It was founded in the 1940s to aid Western European countries after World War II with capital. The organization functions by providing loans and grants to nations, often in an effort to tackle some greater policy or project goal.

Good job, Eagle. Now, what do they really do? And how does it help the US economy?

A good starting point, but basically they are a money funnel, not really successful “ridding the world of poverty” etc., but funding politically-based activitites on a broad front. This could and does take on a broad array of “causes”....this probably ranges from simple “grants” (gifts) to the funding of the one-world corporate (trade) monolith that so many of our pols are working hard to build (at America’s cost). My list could go on.
