Question

Is it not the proper time to review the working of World Bank and its Prsident's selection method?

Answer 1

Zoellick is another crony.  Served as foreign policy advisor (joke) and served on advisory boards for ENRON!!!   Here is a person that has served Washington and Enron as an advisor.  We all know how bad the "foreign policy" is.. we also know what happened to Enron.    I'm not sure this man gives such good advice.    

Bush would have picked Kenny Boy Lay.. but he's dead.

Answer 4

Since the World Bank is a political instrument of US foreign policy, it is hard to see how the appointment of its president can be done any differently. It could not be made an open process where the best and most qualified person was appointed because he/she may not agree with US foreign policies. At the moment, it is a gift to the US incumbent president's crony and not necessarily the best person for the job is given it. That's why the World Bank has such a poor record on most counts - environmental, corruption, effectiveness, etc. The present one that's soon to leave is a standing joke - Shaha ha ha ha!
