Reviews

An incisive, much-needed analysis of the need for greater U.S. government attention to the actual results on the ground of World Bank and other multilateral development bank (MDB) programs. Upton's well documented study exposes the gap between the MDB's development rhetoric and their too often poor operational performance. It makes clear that a good part of the responsibilty for conflicting MDB priorities lies with the banks' larger shareholders, especially the United States. -Bruce Rich Director International Programs Environmental Defense Fund Author of Mortgaging the Earth
