Description
Voices of the World's Poor brings together over 100 of Wolfensohn's most important and inspiring speeches, essays and letters during the decade of his presidency. It presents the most thought-provoking ideas on critical global issues, including poverty, HIV/AIDS, trade, globalization, education, human rights, peace and security. Written during some of the most tumultuous times in recent history, Wolfensohn's writings examines key global events and issues, from Bosnia's reconstruction, the Asian financial crisis, and the rise of the globalization movement, to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the aftermath of the Iraq war, and the outpouring of help for the victims of the tsunami of December 2004. The works collected here describes both Wolfensohn's thinking on development and his advocacy for the world's poor. This book will be an invaluable resource for any audience interested, in development, international relations, the World Bank and Wolfensohn himself.
