I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

That global poverty has declined because of the spread of liberal economies

I'll bite. Why has global poverty declined?

For the most part it hasn't actually declined, but where it has can't be fairly ascribed to that.

I'm mostly going off the argument made here which seemed pretty convincing to me. The gist of it is that the statistics used to push the narrative of neoliberal effectiveness on poverty are presented in very misleading ways.
