Michael Strong asks:
Does anyone think the World Bank raises more people out of poverty than does Wal-Mart?
Judge for yourself. Personally, "I buy goods from poorer countries", and appreciate those firms who help me to do so.
I should be astonished if the World Bank doesn't have all the disadvantages of governments, while lacking the one advantage - that we can vote the buggers out.
