8 Economist John Williamson attached the label “Washington Consensus” to a set of policies promoting growth and development on the basis of privatization, trade, and investment liberalization, as well as tight fiscal and monetary discipline. The label underscores the critical role that the U.S. Treasury Department and the Washington-based and heavily U.S.-funded Bretton Woods institutions played in developing these policies.
