Growth, poverty and equity
Abstract
The World Bank, embarrassed no
end by the controversy over the exit
of its chief economist, Joseph
Stiglitz, last November, has just had
another high-profile departure. Ravi
Kanbur, a Cornell University professor
who headed the team for the World
Development Report 2000/01, has walked
out just months ahead of the finalisation
of the report. The report, intended for
release this September to coincide with
the IMF-World Bank annual meeting, has
as its theme, ‘Attacking poverty’. This is
a theme that the Bank, by convention,
visits once every 10 years.
