[...] In arguing against the possible nomination of Larry Summers, I had written: I think a basic job requirement of leading a major international development institution is that you have an expansive view of human potential. And I think an essential component of having an expansive view of human potential is having a strong sensitivity to the degree to which people are making choices that are unnecessarily and unjustly constrained. And I think the record clearly shows that Larry Summers does not meet this standard, and therefore he is not qualified to lead the World Bank. On Friday, the Boston Globe noted: During his time at Partners in Health, Kim frequently spoke of how his mother, a neo-Confucian philosopher, had shaped his tendency "to question assumptions and lift barriers," Dahl said. "If someone says something isn't possible, he says, 'Tell me why?' And then he finds out more." I think this strongly suggests that Dr. Kim has "an expansive view of human potential." Let's make meeting this bar a new tradition at the World Bank. -- Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
