World Bank’s next president: tracking the candidates
Now there’s a blog devoted just to this question, with pithy quotes like this:
Rock star Wolfensohn. “Less than a decade ago, the bank was under siege by antiglobalization protesters,” writes Harvard economist, Kenneth Rogoff, in a report card for James Wolfensohn. “Today it’s popular in many quarters.” “And just as Wolfensohn has improved the bank’s image, he’s transformed his own, from hardnosed investment banker to rock star in the aid community. No wonder so many Bush administration officials are lining up for the job in hopes of memorializing their own image,” he adds.
