As the World Bank’s Chief Economist under Wolfensohn, I had argued that failing to deal with corruption risked undermining growth and poverty alleviation. By the time I left the Bank, these ideas were widely accepted, and I was pleased that Wolfowitz supported continuing the Bank’s efforts.
我在沃尔福森手下担任世界银行的首席经济学家。我曾经提出，不对付腐败问题就会可能破坏增长和减少贫困。在我离开世界银行的时候，人们广泛接受了这些观念，而且我很高兴沃尔福威茨支持继续世行的努力。但是反腐败总归只是所需要的更为全面的发展议程的一部分。实际上，不称职破坏援助效力的程度和腐败一样巨大。
