Chile slams World Bank for bias in competitiveness rankings

quote [ Chilean officials on Saturday criticized the World Bank, saying it treated the South American country unfairly in its closely watched annual "Doing Business" competitiveness rankings. ]

Nothing inspires a thriving business climate than confiscating private property and nationalizing foreign investments at the whim of your typical Socialist state.
