This is the autobiography of James Wolfensohn, who led the World Bank through one of its most tumultuous decades to struggle against global poverty.
As the president of World Bank, Wolfensohn explores the causes of continuing poverty and his approach to fighting it. With his experience in the banking sector, Wolfensohn motivated, devised, and charmed all the constituencies at his command to increase the world's wealth. Here he assesses his successes and failures.
The visionary philanthropist also shares his experience in different parts of the world. As a Jew, he faced anti-Semitism in London¡¦s banking world, but as an international public servant, he has carved a distinct path in Asia, Africa and Europe for the bank. This is the story of an astonishing career and a fascinating personality.
