For Wolfowitz, Poverty Is the Newest War to Fight (NYT)

September 26, 2005

Nancy Birdsall was quoted in this New York Times article about Paul Wolfowitz, highlighting the importance of the  future of the World Bank.

From the article

"I don't hear any new vision yet," said Nancy Birdsall, founder of the Center on Global Development, a nonpartisan research organization here. "The big issues are not about internal management but about what the role of the World Bank is going to be in the 21st century. Right now, the banks products are still 1960's-style products - loans to governments, infrastructure loans."
