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 responsibility 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
