At times, it has been asymbol of frustration and misunderstanding.In his work, and in thisbook, Wolfensohn explores the causes of continuing poverty and hisapproach to fighting it. Using a lifetime of experience in thebanking sector, Wolfensohn motivated, devised, schemed, charmed andbullied all the constituencies at his command to increase theworld's wealth.
