Maybe it has something to do with it being dominated by the representation of wealthy Western interests.
The IMF has its biases and is far from perfectly equitable (and this was quite clear already in their response - or sometimes lack thereof - to the 1990s crises) but expecting it to single-handedly do enough to "address global economic inequality" is just not very fair.
Absolutely--my point is that the IMF is not generally interested in the economic welfare of poorer countries, and is abused as a tool for neocolonial interests. Their track record reflects that.
