Sure. The book has more of a focus on domestic institutions, indeed I dont think it mentions the IMF or World Bank more than a couple of times.
It could be a critique of the book that it doesn’t focus on the imposition of economic policies from these organisations enough (it does reference them in a section about engineering prosperity and how these policies have largely failed but it is brief). Certainly the role of these organisations (World Bank et al) and their role in extracting wealth would be valid.
John Perkins (Confession of an Economic Hitman) certainly offers more insight into the neo-colonial practices of these organisations and from the interviews I have heard by Alex Gladstone I would suggest he is well informed on the topic and offers some solutions as well… (I haven’t read ‘Hidden Repression: How the IMF and World Bank Sell Exploitation as Development’.)

Thank you for the name check - that was a mistake courtesy of auto-correct I suspect.
