Summary: "In order for the World Bank to take poverty reduction seriously, these two issues have to be resolved. This may require going back to the drawing board and redesigning the Bank from scratch. The theoretical framework of the World Bank must be re-designed to give poverty reduction a central place. Goals must be defined in terms of measurable reductions of poverty each year for each country, and a date must be set for freeing the world from poverty once and for all. Methodologies and work habits must be designed that are pro-poor. The World Bank must hire people who have the ability and commitment to do the job with all the seriousness it deserves." -- From the preface.
