IN CONVERSATION: WITH JAMES WOLFENSOHN
by
Stephen Bernhut
Reducing global poverty is a daunting challenge, one that is a challenge even for the formidable man who leads The World Bank, James Wolfensohn. In this in-depth, wide-ranging interview, the supremely successful and well-connected Mr. Wolfensohn discusses the connection between world poverty and terrorism, the politics of debt relief and the possibility of debt elimination, what the world's developed countries must do to enable the least developed countries to sell their goods in world markets, and why globalization not only can't be stopped but why this powerful force is an opportunity for the least developed countries to improve their standard of living.
