Who Owes Who?: 50 Questions about World Debt Book

I read this because I regret not having taken any economics classes in college, and I'm embarrassed about my lack of understanding about how debt and international financial institutions work. I was hoping this would help me, but it didn't at all. It was just way too simple, like something I'd expect to be assigned to a high school economics class. Also, it kept arguing for total forgiveness of developing countries' debts. I wholeheartedly agree that this should happen, but the book didn't provide any analysis as to how to realize this (very idealistic) goal--ie, how can pressure be applied to IFIs, how can people be mobilized around this issue, how can developing countries organize amongst themselves to stand up to IFIs, etc. Also, it didn't talk about alternatives--if a struggle for debt forgiveness is unsuccessful, what are other ways that developing countries can work to unbind their economies from IFIs? Overall I felt the book was way too simplistic and lacking in analysis.
