For too long, the Bank’s leadership has imposed US concepts that are often utterly inappropriate for the poorest countries and their poorest people. For example, the Bank completely fumbled the exploding pandemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria during the 1990’s, failing to get help to where it was needed to curb these outbreaks and save millions of lives.
长久以来，在世行的领导下，许多完全不适合最贫困过家及其中的最贫困人口的美国式概念被强加于他们头上。比如，世行完全没能处理好20世纪90年代艾滋病、结核病和疟疾的大爆发，没能给予疾病暴发、数百万生命危在旦夕的国家足够的帮助。
