Voice for the World's Poor: Selected Speeches and Writings of World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn, 1995-2005

As President of the World Bank, James Wolfensohn helped the Bank return to its position as the pre-eminent global economic institution that it once was. He made sustainable poverty reduction tile World Bank's overarching mission and declared institutional war on global poverty. Spanning all ten years of Wolfensohn's presidency (1995-2005), this title presents his most stimulating and thought-provoking writings on critical global issues, including poverty, debt relief, corruption, HIV/AIDS, climate change, human rights, and globalization. This book will be an invaluable resource for readers interested in international relations, international development, the World Bank, and James D. Wolfensohn himself.
