Following his grandmother's passing, George reflects on the impact of weaponised debt throughout the global South. Her resilience and advocacy inspire him.

Shaken by the passing of his grandmother, George reflects on the post-colonial struggles of her generation. 1970s Jamaica provides an early case study of the weaponised debt that went on to re-colonise much of the global South. A look back on previous episodes illuminates patterns of exploitation and extraction across African/Western relations. This is the global context that frames the questionable role of the International Monetary Fund in the perpetuation of poverty. George is reminded by his grandmother鈥檚 legacy that fighting for justice is always an option.
