Perhaps no individual has done more to raise the alarm – earning deserved credit for many successes and understanding all too clearly the remaining shortcomings – than James Wolfensohn, the outgoing President of the World Bank. As Managing Director of the IMF, I have had the privilege of working closely with Jim Wolfensohn, seeing up close a man with an extraordinary mission: the sustainable reduction of global poverty.
可能没有谁像即将离任的世界银行行长詹姆斯·沃尔芬森这样发出警告：他一方面由于众多的成功而声名雀起，另一方面又对尚未解决的问题了如指掌。作为国际货币基金组织的常务理事，我有幸和吉姆·沃尔芬森在工作上保持密切联系，从而得以近距离了解这个肩负着不断减少全球贫困的特殊使命的人。
