The World Bank
This effort constitutes the most comprehensive and authoritative work to date on the history of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or the World Bank.

The result of their intense labors is an invaluable resource for other researchers and a fascin…
The World Bank
Dilemmas of Development Assistance
Some Consequences of Giantism
Economists tend to discount national size in their explanations of development, on the mistaken assumption that all aspects of big and little economies are proportionate.

Instead, during the Truman era, the Council became, in the words of its second chairman, "an overall general economic advisory staff" generally concerned with major problems affecting the growth and stability of the American economy, including…
