I have long advocated shifting the Bank’s center of gravity from lending to outright grants, a policy that the Bush administration strongly endorses. But choosing someone with no obvious background or experience in economic development was not the way to make progress on this front.
尽管我同情布什政府促进世界银行变革的愿望，但是我还是得出这一结论。我长久以来主张将该行的重心从贷款转移到直接赠款之上，布什政府强烈支持这一政策。但是挑选某一没有明显经济发展背景或经验的人并不是在这一领域取得进展的途径。
