- This article analyzes the history of the World Bank during its first fifty years. It is argued that since its beginnings the Bank has used credit as a lever to expand its influence and institutionalize economic ideas, concepts of the world, and political prescriptions in client states. Behind its technical façade, the Bank has always acted, albeit in different forms, in the interface of the political, economic, and intellectual fields at the international level, due to its singular condition as a lender, political actor, and inductor of ideas and prescriptions about what to do in questions of capitalist development, from an Anglo-Saxon perspective. Based on a wide and varied international literature and the sources of the institution itself, the text approaches the theme taking into account the US policy towards the institution, changes in international economic policy, and the principal decisions of the Bank’s board.
El artículo analiza la historia del Banco Mundial durante sus primeros cincuenta años. Se argumenta que, desde el principio, el Banco utiliza el crédito como palanca para ampliar su influencia e institucionalizar ideas económicas, visiones del mundo y prescripciones de política en sus clientes. Detrás de su aspecto técnico, el Banco siempre ha funcionado, aunque de diferentes formas, en la intersección de los campos político, económico e intelectual a escala internacional, en función de su condición singular de prestamista, actor político y promotor de ideas y recetas acerca de lo que se debe hacer en cuestiones de desarrollo capitalista, en clave anglosajona. Basado en una amplia y diversa literatura y fuentes de la institución internacional, el texto aborda la cuestión teniendo en cuenta la política de Estados Unidos hacia la institución, los cambios en la economía política y la gestión de decisiones internacionales claves de la entidad.
